Fear… that icy cold sinking sensation in the pit of your stomach when you think about starting work on your next project. Or working on your current project. Writer’s block. No inspiration. How do writers and artists overcome fear?

You let go — physically relax. If you’re completely loose and relaxed, you CANNOT feel fear - and of especial interest to creatives: a completely physically relaxed state is a creative state.

Fear makes you tighten up.

When artistic fear strikes, if you tighten up, your mind is instantly flooded with scary ideas and scenarios which make you tighten up even more. This breaks you mentally, triggering an avalanche of mental horrors. In this state, it seems to you that the only way to stay safe is to run away — to forget about your creativity.

The trick is: don’t try to fight the fear. Let go. If you completely physically relax, your fear vanishes.

Can’t relax? Take a course in progressive muscle relaxation. Many hospitals offer them for their patients. Bernd Harmsen has an excellent free online course here —

=> Shush!… Avoid confrontations

In addition to using physical relaxation, it’s wise to avoid confronting your inner dragons head-on. Until you’ve overcome your artistic fears, never say, or think: “I’m writing a book”, or “I’m writing an article”.

Give yourself a break, and let go of all the expectations you have for your artistic endeavors. Tell yourself you’re just going to have fun, and mean it.

Remember to physically relax before you begin to write. Then use Leonardo da Vinci’s technique for getting ideas. It’s fun, and completely non-threatening.

Get a blank sheet of paper, and a pencil. Close your eyes, and make doodles, scribbles and squiggles and lines all over the paper. Take as long as you like. Open your eyes. Can you see any images or patterns in the scribbles? Your scribbling and doodling is a message from your subconscious mind.

Many of Leonardo’s inventions are said to have come from his doodling and scribbling.

Try these two techniques to overcome your artistic fears and rediscover your creativity. They work.

The speed of the internet has profoundly changed many (or most) people’s perceptions of writing and publishing. It has affected our sense of TIME.

Everything is accelerated. If we can copy and paste a story or article and submit it via e-mail within a matter of minutes then is seems strange to still have to wait a few months for response. We’ve come to expect quick results in cyberspace.

It’s easy to forget, as we’re staring at computer-generated characters and interacting with an animated screen, that we’re still sending our work out to another human being. That person has their own schedule, their own set of opinions and values when it comes to stories, articles, and poems…to sum it up, they have a life away from the computer. The internet is the medium, not the message.

Microsoft word has helped foster the illusion that anyone can be a writer. Who needs to learn spelling and grammar when the program can find and fix such errors? Again we have a distortion of our sense of time. Instead of building up our talent, and nurturing our ability over a long period of trial and error, we want to plow right in to that bestseller.

The reality is that creativity follows its own rhythms, a natural ebb and flow. The process by which a writer’s life experience percolates inside and then bursts forth in a new form is something that can be forced only at great cost to the work.

Consider “The Lord of the Rings”, the most influencial fantasy of the last century. J.R.R. Tolkien labored over that novel for twelve years. Readers nowadays might cry: “What a waste! Imagine what he could have done with modern technology!” when they hear that he spent an entire year simply hammering out a final typescript.

What is seldom pointed out, though, is that this more painstaking process allowed him to carefully consider EVERY WORD that he set down in type. And fifty years after their publication, those words still ring with power and wonder.

Perhaps its a blessing that he didn’t have spell-check.

The bottom line for writers is this: technology in many ways HAS made our work easier. It’s done away with some of the grind, so we can more fully devote our energy to the creative process. Now if we can only keep in mind that that process works according to its own timetable. Lets not try to force it to keep up with the speed of our machines.

You’ve heard the arguments, and maybe even been involved in a few yourself. You know the type: “Staying at home with your kids is better!” “I can give my children a better life by working outside the home!” “You’re neglecting your children!”

Now, it seems like no matter what we do as parents, people find a reason to tell you that you’re doing terrible things to your children, that they won’t grow up healthy, social… you know the drill. But what we all need to face is that there are different circumstances for every family.

I don’t know of any stay at home mom who condemns a single mother for working outside the home; after all, she has little choice in most cases. However, it is not uncommon to hear a married, working mother criticized for “leaving the upbringing of her children to others,” by sending them to daycare.

My perspective on the matter is that not all mothers are suited for the stay at home life. Being an at-home parent is not an easy thing, even if you don’t have a home job or business.

When you want to criticize another mother for not staying home with her children, remind yourself that a happy parent is far better for children than an unhappy one. If someone would be miserable staying at home, even with a job, even if they could telecommute from their current job, keeping all benefits, that is not a fault. It can be an honest assessment of their own interest and abilities.

No doubt you’ve faced criticism for being a stay at home parent. If you have a home business, people say you’ll never make money doing that. If you don’t have a work at home job or business, then they say you’re lazy. We all know that isn’t true. The hard part is defending yourself without attacking the other mother’s choices. The simplest answer you can give is that you have the privilege to be there at all times for your children.

Much of these problems between working outside the home and stay at home mothers come in some sense from envy. How often do working moms wish for more time with their families? How often do stay at home moms wish their skills would be acknowledged? It’s easy to idealize what the other person has.

Remember, the best thing you can do for your family, whether you stay at home or work outside the home, is to maintain a balance that is healthy for your family. Moms who work outside the home need to commit much of their off-work time to their families, while stay at home moms need to remember to take care of themselves as well as their families. There is nothing inherently wrong with either decision. It’s time to stop giving each other guilt trips.
