5. Stuck? Skip it (for now)

What do you do in that case?
Skip this section for now and move ahead. And when y...

6. Give yourself a deadline
Let’s not say deadline; rather, go with the word “goal”.
The basic idea behind setting a goal is to identify what you want to write and create a plan to achieve it, and this ultimately helps you stay on track or stay focused.

8. Don’t chase perfection
Don't try to fix everything in the first draft. Rather, once you complete it, give it thorough proofreading or ask a friend to do that. Ask her to leave comments and mark mistakes in the draft so that you can fix them accordingly.

1. Stop before it starts
It is always easier to stop something from happening in the first place than to repair the damage afterward.
Best ways to prevent writer’s block:
- Productive self-talk or pretend you’re talking to your partner
- Forming a writing habit

You want to write, but you can’t seem to get those words flowing. Your brain is too cluttered to create new content. It is a terrible feeling and can hold a person back from finishing their work. And that's what we call "Writer's Block". While many associate writer’s blocks with procrastination, many believe it to be common among writers (even professional writers with years and years of experience). But irrespective of anything that people believe, the problem is real.

Learn to deal with critics
You don't need to be defensive with critics. Also - not all critics are the same. If you can’t handle getting tough feedback from people who care about you, it becomes difficult to take it from people you don’t know.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
