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

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
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.

thank you whiten man from 13 years ago
This is good advice. Aiming for perfection all the time is an issue
@sandoholtz1504Thank you this actually worked incredibly well for me
@Turbopro27Return to this again
@alyssachan6312Who after thyview video seeing this on❤❤❤😊😊
@Suryatalks1508-r8rDoesn'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.
@thepastmaster5643yes. 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.
@Miss_AnnlaugFinish Winds of Winter, at least.
@infernus42254Thank 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.
@inkblade-cv5bdthks bro
@SeñordosDosi can not thank you enough, this works beautifully.
@kimjong-il3630garbage
@louisdimples7057Thanks
@User06821not enough, you need inspiration to even begin.
@DevinScott-d5hThe best advice ever given on writer's block. It is cured. The rest is just plain laziness.
@EinarKuuskI did this and wrote 600 words in 15 minutes after hours of writer's block. Safe to say it works! Thank you.
@elainarampersad2003I’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.
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
@GabenfakeThank you for creating this video! I have watched it a bunch of times to "cure" writer's block and your method really works!
@AnneLivingston-g3eA 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.
@manosmehedeeHad 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_1425Man 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 🔥❤️
@c.t.thegodbefore you make it great, make it exist
@johnattanwithtwotsThank you for this! This was very helpful
@proteinoatmaleI'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.
This video is 12 years old but it is the best video ever. Thank you so much
@HotaruSharmaDamn.
@karunsagar5325Watched this to help with the writers block equivalent in building ( whatever that may be called) and it helps a TON THANK YOU
@airsoft_fox_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
@yakultzeyMy inner critic watching this lol
@WinterPJOversionwai- wha- ? YOU CAN DO THAT?! (Thanks so much)
@luciananimation2108Fuck you I don't wanna write garbage
@ninopreuss2549I feel like I'm ascending frfr
@anotherrandom010This man is a LEGEND 🔥
still replies to comments after 12 years
Respect 🫡
I can't believe this really worked... I started writing garbage and in three minutes I have written 300 words woww thank you so much
@Josten10When ever my novel get reach this problem happened stopping me from Update regular.
@bdhunterkiller117Gosh, 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!
@Quilly_DM"forever... but if you experience it again.."
@lenathelizard7I have a deadline at 11:59pm tonight and you saved me a lot of trouble. Thank you.
@maxmenzies1465My 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.
This helped me so much, thank you for being honest and keeping it short and sweet. seriously needed this today!
@MoonEmpressOK, that twist that you will criticize it later is very interesting.
@cherubin7thAhsidjdndjsndnddnndndndndndb
@rabits530I'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! 🥲
@nightingale9138any tips for total boredom? I'm ALMOST done with my entire book but I'm so worn out
@m00dyalienI 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 💖
