Synopsis

Many writers talk about writer's block, but for me that has never been an issue. What I have struggled with for the last 8 years is something I have started to call "publishing block." This book contains the eight different tools or steps I use to get myself out of publishing block. Some tools I utilize more than others, and while some steps I do almost automatically, others I do more reluctantly. But all are important and essential ways to combat publishing block. If you are new to trying to get your work published, this might all seem a little overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be - just pick one way to start combating publishing block. For example, you could begin by submitting to literary journals or getting involved (or more involved) in your local literary community, and go from there, slowly working on it over time. The great thing about this kind of work is that it is naturally incremental. It isn't about committing a bunch of time and energy over one sustained period; rather, it is about regularly committing small periods of time, as short as five minutes, to one of these ways of combatting publishing block. Looking at it this way makes it a lot more manageable to fit into a busy life. The other good news is the more you combat publishing block, the easier it gets and the more organically it happens. So, over time some of these tools will seem like just a natural part of your everyday life.
