How to overcome writer's block?
Writer's block often stems from perfectionism or fear of the blank page. Most effective methods: set a timer for 10 minutes and write anything without stopping (free writing), use writing prompts to limit choice paralysis, start in the middle rather than the beginning. The biggest mistake is waiting for inspiration — professional writers write without it too.
