interesting reflexive piece - looking forward to the next one :) I think you're right. To break out of writer's block, one needs to just start writing. To break out from the paralysis of doing then, the only way is to start doing!

Is that what I seem to be saying? I have ample experience of starting to write and persisting in the attempt for a long time without getting things to work. But in lucky cases where the text is actually coming together and I hit a comparatively minor block, switching the medium has helped, e.g. exchanging the computer for pen and paper or vice versa.

Indeed love the title How "not" to move forward? Hitting the core there... Can't wait for more!

That's so encouraging to hear, Silja!
