How I Overcome Writer’s Block (what I learned from writing 8 books)

If you want to write a book, it's so important to have the right mindset. Writing a book is such a mental game and this is probably one of the biggest lessons I've learned while writing 8 books. In this video, I'm sharing how I have adjusted my mindset when approaching a writing project to make writing a book less daunting and make it less likely I will be overwhelmed by the process. I like to call my writing process "reverse onioning" (lol just bear with me). To "build" an onion, you just put it together layer by layer and focus on one layer at a time. If you focus on one layer at a time, eventually, you will create an onion, but if you try to put together all layers at once it doesn't work. -- Subscribe to my channel for weekly videos sharing actionable writing tips that helped me improve as a writer. 🎬 VIDEOS YOU WILL LIKE: How to Plot a Novel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7_0aEcRCaA STOP WRITING BORING PLOTS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPDcUWL_-q0 SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/c/WritewithClaireFraise 👻 READ MY BOOKS (free in Kindle Unlimited): https://www.amazon.com/They-Stay-Suspenseful-Young-Mystery/dp/1737225301/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=claire+fraise%27&qid=1628649544&sr=8-1 Download the first FIVE chapters of THEY STAY when you subscribe to my newsletter: https://bit.ly/3zFpz0l 😀 CONNECT: MAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3zFpz0l WEBSITE: https://www.clairefraise.com/​​​​​​ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/clairefraiseauthor/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/clairefraiseauthor GOODREADS: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14193771.Claire_Fraise EMAIL: [email protected] ABOUT: Hi, I'm Claire! I’m an award-winning self-published author of paranormal thriller books (my book "They Stay" won the Grand Prize at the 2023 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards and is the first in a five-book series). There is no one way to write a book. I’m a strong believer that the only way to develop your own writing process is by trying a bunch of different methods to find out what is the most helpful to you. In my videos, I share how I approach every stage in my writing process, from brainstorming to editing, in the hope that it could give you something to try that could help you level up as a writer. I share techniques that have improved my own writing so you can see if the same strategies help you.
