hey guys welcome back to another video I'm your host Weaver beats and today I'm
doing a video about writer's block I actually tried to video on this before I
Shawn edited the whole video before realizing I came to almost no
conclusions so I shoved the project until I recently found a hologram
machine so I'm a hologram my buddy module in here to help me out with this
hey man how's it going sup Weaver does that hurt this is my
first time using this yeah that was actually extremely painful we get this
over with all right we heard the man let's get this started
writer's block is ultimately a personal issue that has experienced very
subjectively dependent on the person in question no two people experience it the
same essentially it's a creative slowdown where creative process and
enjoy entity is impeded by a lack of personal Drive inspiration due to
unresolved or unidentifiable reasons it is something that people debate whether
is real and ultimately can boil down to a simple perceptual issue
it can stem from a multitude of various reasons such as mental and/or physical
exhaustion bad mental disposition lack of will lack of creativity depression
confusion etc really anything that impedes your creative ability can be
identified as a source of writer's block a theory is that writer's block is more
than just a perceptual issue under the rest brain will switch from the cerebral
cortex to the limbic system causing a perceptual shift that could influence
creativity the limbic system is associated with your fight-or-flight
response the restricted input from the cerebral cortex hinders creative
functions you don't even know that it's happening it has been suggested that
it's more important to focus on writing than what's right wrong or fits within
the rules letting go of your emotions while being creative and focusing on the
art and now your feelings surrounding it can help ease the tension and judgment
that comes from this which ultimately will help thee sustain a creative
mindset another thing that helps is to write completely by yourself all the way
through before attempting to get any sort of feedback outside opinion is good
but it will ultimately impact your creative process and work regardless of
emotion inclination
meditate anyway it works clear your mind try taking breaks long
or short breaks are inherently a part of the creative process and are necessary
for healthy work expose yourself to other creative ideas and concepts but
stay original and don't copy others exercise or workout and eat well the
positive mental impact associated with both is actually rather significant
don't force anything you don't get anywhere by trying to force yourself
into a mood you're not in or to force work to be done we're not trying to do
it right without short-term breaks try to write all the way through now we're
both going to tell you about our personal experiences of the writer's
block here's what I noticed when I took a break but many of my creative ventures
I came back with a fresher perspective I had new ideas for new tricks when I was
skateboarding I had new ideas for beats and songs when I was making music it's
almost as if by taking a break I was able to get out of the routine that I
was constantly in in my mind and able to think in a new way
I think writer's block is your mind getting too close to something you use
your objectivity on it so you need to put space between you and your work
writer's block has not affected me much recently but in the past I had struggled
with not fully completing tracks to the point I wasn't releasing anything what
finally got me out of it to be honest wasn't one thing with just my own
personal drive to want to get over the issue as facing of not enjoying the
tracks I was making it as a result not completing them over time I improved due
to practice and started completing tracks which led to me enjoying my music
more and ultimately led to me making more music okay so that's it for this
video you guys enjoy these long-form videos this video to call it quite a bit
longer to make the normal how to do quite a bit of research fact-checking
