If you would have written (see my last post) for a large enough incentive, even for a short period of time, what does that say? Might
writing not be the problem? Might writing itself not be inherently difficult or
painful, but might instead your appraisal of writing be problematic?
Perhaps something or somethings you learned, that you now carry with you into the writing process, are truly what hinder you? Could it be that you have internalized messages throughout your education or family life about writing and your abilities that continue to influence your perspective on writing today?
And, perhaps, these internalized messages are reinforced by public spaces such as social media, where you find others who insist that writing is a painful, contested and traumatic activity?
