Great post! I love it. It's so easy to get worked up because we hit a wall while writing, but I really, really like this reframe: hitting the wall sometimes IS part of the process.

I'm pretty sure this can be applied in many other facettes of life, too!

Ha! Yes it can be applied to life. This is what the book is all about :) Thanks for your comment Rye.
