Summary In his decades of therapeutic practice with artists, Eric Maisel has found a common thread behind what often gets labeled 'writer's block', 'procrastination', or 'stage fright'. It's the particular anxiety that keeps creators from doing, completing, or sharing the work they are paradoxically driven toward.
