Transcript

The third bad habit that will cause writer's block is having way too many guidelines. Now if you take like as a really simple example, he's he can get in trouble with just two really good guidelines. guideline one, brevity is the soul of wit guideline to you want to include lots of anecdotes, stories, a lot of things to really engage the reader's attention and make your your writing memorable. Because if it's just a list of facts, then that's a bit dull. Now, both of those guidelines are excellent things to follow. They're both really good advice.

The problem is, if you is that they kind of contradict each other. And so if you're trying to pull it both at the same time, you might be getting into writer's block, because you want to write something then part of you says yes, that meets that guideline all but no, it doesn't meet that guideline. So scrap it, just just don't use it. Think of something else. And then you think of something else and there's just another contradiction. So if you're following 10 or 20 guidelines in the back of your mind, even if they're each individually an excellent thing to do, you could just end up with this web of complexity that stops you from writing anything.

This is the case. Just take a breath and really focus on which guidelines you should be focusing on and ignore the rest.
