March 21, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

I've been struggling with writer's block as of late. I finally figured out the real reason. It's that I was working on the wrong projects.

You know, I don’t really believe in the condition of writer’s block. I do believe that every writer will at some point have trouble writing. Some people call that “writer’s block”, but all it really means is that you’re either distracted, unmotivated, or simply working on the wrong project. This is happening to me a […]

Preemptively Defeat Your Distractions Before You Start Writing

October 13, 2015 By: Jason Bougger
