Writer's Block Instant Cure

Video Overview & Insights

Cure writer's block in 3 minutes -- no matter what you want to write.

http://amazon.com/Writing-FAST-Anything-Lightning-ebook/dp/B0070XCXDC/

From the book "Writing FAST: How to Write Anything with Lightning Speed", author/producer Jeff Bollow shows you a simple, fast, guaranteed way to break through writer's block instantly.

Fawkk i love this video

— @NAPOSICEM

The secret is simple: By giving yourself permission to write garbage, you overcome writer's block instantly, allowing your creative flow to resume. But what about the inner Critic -- that voice that tells you your ideas are terrible? Make a deal with it, and tell it to wait its turn.

This is the first in a series of writing tips for writers of all levels.

Works for songwriting. I’ve read every book on creativity and this 4 minute YouTube video is the only thing that broke my year long writers block. Just amazing thank you for your contribution to artists everywhere.

Who after thyview video seeing this on❤❤❤😊😊

@Suryatalks1508-r8r

Doesn't work for me. When writers block hit me, the train of thought just stops. I don't have any bad ideas, I don't have any ideas at all. Just a void.

@thepastmaster5643
@

yes. procrastination is purely a stress responce. preassure to be perfect is the ultimate stresser on the creative process. this anti perfectionissm takes practice! but its sooo fun. it is becoming child like, silly and playful.

Thank u. l probably could have found a solution alone but not as quick as finding help, l have learnt learning advice from people is one of the best gifts we have as humans, which is to share.

The best advice ever given on writer's block. It is cured. The rest is just plain laziness.

@EinarKuusk
@

I did this and wrote 600 words in 15 minutes after hours of writer's block. Safe to say it works! Thank you.

I’ve been writing for a few months now every other day, just about trying to get good enough skills to write a book that's good enough to get published.

This video helped me out so much. I was just staring at my laptop screen for a good 3 hours today, and I just was completely drawing a blank. Now, what I'm writing after this might not be "the right thing," but it's a start, right? Even garbage is better than a blank page.

@nappyk96
@

nah that aint my issue is just that whenever i need to anything creative my mind goes blank like i stop being able to think and just get paralized

@Gabenfake
@

Thank you for creating this video! I have watched it a bunch of times to "cure" writer's block and your method really works!

@AnneLivingston-g3e
@

A very very relatable problem for writers, along with I must say for all creatives this problem can happen. I also have realized that it should be in a state of flow and need to consciously avoid criticism in the idea stage.

@manosmehedee

Had writers block for the past few months now and i havent been able to write anything for my novel. Thanks for the video man, really gave me a new perspective on things and i think im ready to give my writing another try.

@PhanToM_1425

Man thank you so much bro I really needed this I feel like I wrote the song of the year music video dropping end of August 🔥❤️

@johnattanwithtwots

Thank you for this! This was very helpful

@proteinoatmale

I'll give this a go.

I don’t really think my writer's block is caused by the need for perfection, or at least not that much.

I think my block is external as I have a day job as a warehouse worker and by the end of the day I'm usually too tired to focus on writing despite the fact that I really want too. I've been able to push past the exhaustion before but I guess I just lost the momentum.

Thank you so sooo much for your tips and advices! I've been struggling to write for such a long time. And when I do, it would take me hours. But with your help, my pace has also improved!! 12 years and it's still the only one that cured my writer's block

Gosh, darn. This video is 12 years old, but even to this day, in 2025, it's still helping me. "Just Write Garbage," has been a fantastic boon for me when it comes to writing. I used to be trapped in a state of constantly going back and refining, but now, I just let it all out. Go over it a few times and usually I feel satisfied with it and get it out. Because of this, I was able to finish a book and now it's being published!

I have a deadline at 11:59pm tonight and you saved me a lot of trouble. Thank you.

My little voice isn't a little voice. It's a f-ing Godzilla, and it hates me, it stomps on me with all its might.

Youre absolutely right tho, i know it, but i can't help myself, not yet.

@maryi685

This helped me so much, thank you for being honest and keeping it short and sweet. seriously needed this today!

@MoonEmpress

OK, that twist that you will criticize it later is very interesting.

I've got an essay due tomorrow morning and I only got my thesis and topic sentences. Though I probably won't have this finished since it is currently 9 PM, I do feel a lot better than I did 5 minutes ago! 🥲

@nightingale9138

any tips for total boredom? I'm ALMOST done with my entire book but I'm so worn out

@m00dyalien

I don't think that I'll ever be able to adequately express my gratitude for this video. I've been getting stuck a lot lately, but your breakdown of the anatomy of the 'block' helped me to understand WHY. I believe I can work through my blocks now! Thank you 💖
