Letting Go of Writing Fear (Coronavirus and Our Mental Health)
Overcoming the Blank Page. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guests are Tamara Moan, Jamie McOuat and Penny Pence Smith.
Life is a multi-emotional continuum, from joy to despair, from interest to boredom, from positive to negative. One of the great negative emotions is fear, and one of the great fears is fear of the blank page. Most people at sometime in their lives think, ‘I should write this down.’ What they want to write may be a memory, a story, a poem, a thought, an essay. And if this is not written, it most often disappears. People are in the middle of something, have no time to stop, nothing to write with, and the moment is lost. Eventually many make the time and sit down with paper and pen in hand, and face…the blank page, a fearsome entity that paralyzes brain cells and whispers in people’s ears, ‘You are no writer, and you will fail.’ The spirit that can defeat this adversary is ‘Imagination.’
