Overcoming problems with writing. Writing myths can prevent us from starting to write or block us in the middle of the process. Because we envision writing in certain ways and measure our abilities against these notions, we believe we do not meet the requirements. So why start or continue? The author demonstrates how writing myths can disrupt the writing process and what effects it can have when we reconsider our perceptions. He debunks these myths so that mindsets and habits can be changed, allowing for uninterrupted writing progress.
