We tell ourselves many reasons why we’re not writing - or not writing as much or as often as we would like. Pick your reasons from the following list: work, family, social life, duties, distractions. But if you want to write and you’re not making writing a priority, there’s actually only a single reason - fear.

Are you blocked and failing to make progress with your writing? Prize-winning writer and creative writing tutor Ros Barber takes a look at deep psychological barriers people have to writing and shares a technique that helped her dissolve her own blocks.
