Writer's Block

Holly has also launched a comprehensive audio and written course on How to Beat Writer's Block. Holly says: "I realized that I'd won my dream, but I was letting it slip away from me. I'd beaten the slush pile, I had a stack of signed contracts and a stack of waiting deadlines. I'd conquered the odds millions of other writers were still fighting against, and I was letting my shot at my dream die... And I said, "The hell with this."

Holly developed three techniques: one to reconnect with the muse, to instigate a meaningful conversation; the second to get that useful information down on paper as quickly as possible; and the third to kickstart every writing day and get the juices flowing without pain.
