It’s been a while, but now it’s time for a third set of posters. These new ones concentrate on the psychological issues many writers have with writing, issues commonly characterised as ‘writer’s block’. You can click on each of the posters about writer’s block for a larger version.</p> 303<p>I hope you like them.</p> 304<h2>Join A Writing Group!</h2> 305<p>See my article on <a href="https://graemeshimmin.com/why-you-should-join-writing-groups/">why you should join a writing group</a> which explains in detail why the best thing any aspiring writer can do to improve their writing is join a writing group. One of the main reasons is that it can help fight writer’s block, because just being with other writers, who understand what being a writer is like, can provide a lot of encouragement.</p> 306<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/graemeshimmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Inspiring-People-Change-Your-Life.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-16475 size-large" src="https://i0.wp.com/graemeshimmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Inspiring-People-Change-Your-Life.jpg?resize=370%2C480&ssl=1" alt="Find a Group of People Who Challenge and Inspire You.

308-all-talk-and-no-action/">Are You All Talk And No Action?</a>, touching on the disadvantages of outcome-based thinking: worrying about what will happen after you finish writing. Process-based thinking: being in the moment and just enjoying writing for itself, has many advantages. Not looking back, not looking forward, just enjoying yourself writing is the best approach, and this poster sums that up.</p> 309<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/graemeshimmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-journey-is-the-reward.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-16474 size-large" src="https://i0.wp.com/graemeshimmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-journey-is-the-reward.jpg?resize=370%2C480&ssl=1" alt="The journey is the reward - Steve Jobs" width="370" height="480" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/graemeshimmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-journey-is-the-reward.jpg?resize=370%2C480&ssl=1 370w, https://i0.wp.com/graemeshimmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-journey-is-the-reward.jpg?resize=93%2C120&ssl=1 93w, https://i0.wp.com/graemeshimmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-journey-is-the-reward.jpg?resize=508%2C659&ssl=1 508w, https://i0.wp.com/graemeshimmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-journey-is-the-reward.jpg?w=540&ssl=1 540w" sizes="(max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px" /></a></p> 310<h2>Is There Such Thing as Effortless Genius?</h2> 311<p>In my article on the <a href="https://graemeshimmin.com/the-amadeus-myth-debunking-the-illusion-of-effortless-genius/">Amadeus Myth</a>, I argue that the common media-sponsored idea of effortless genius is not based on reality, and causes real artists and writers a lot of problems, including writer’s block and imposter syndrome.
