The expectation point is the same exact cause that I found for writer’s block.
I am a psychologist so writer’s block can also relate to my field since it really
is an inner battle. I found that the main reason it happens is because these
writer’s either cannot meet their high expectations or think
they cannot. These expectations can be relating to grades, timelines, or the
paper's content itself. Lower your expectations to be more productive!
I agree with the fact that writer’s block is stress related, but you can’t just do
a few things and expect it to go away. In an experiment myself and a few
colleagues conducted we found from a group of classroom teachers that
writer’s block is actually caused by anxiety of being assessed by grades, fear
of being criticized, negative classroom settings, lack of information about
writing, and not being able to read. This shows that it is outside factors that
are affecting the writers. It is not actually the writers themselves.
Contrary to all these other users, I have found that the best remedy to writer’s
block is to get some movement in. If you find yourself stuck, take a break and get
your blood flowing. Maybe go to the gym, go on a walk, or just do some jumping
jacks by your computer to get your body going. This can help your brain to get back
in check and get ready to get back to work. Take a little movement break and don’t
stress too much about your paper Jdawg!
I tried going to the gym the other day and even after my workout, I was still
having trouble writing my paper. I feel like just moving didn't really help my
problem.
Yeah you probably are still overstressing your paper a little too much.
The movement is mainly to get your mind off of it and come back
fresh.
After using some of these techniques, it seems like Robert had the best ideas when
it comes to eliminating writer’s block. It really helped when I implemented his four
factors. Freewriting is super helpful to get my ideas going and by giving myself
smaller goals to meet, I can produce quality writing over a high quantity of writing.
Thank you all for your responses!
