Quit Overthinking What Comes Natural

The writer's dilemma (dare I say human dilemma) and what the heck to do about it!

The problem-solving brain, when used correctly, can come up with a solution for just about anything, including the impossible corner you wrote yourself into on your latest screenplay...

On the reverse end of the spectrum, that same mind — when overactive and overthinking — can also be what holds you back, on the page, in your dreams, and in life.

Woah. Heavy.

Heavy lies the crown!

I’ve found that a lot of the most successful artists, and happy ones, do this naturally. Or shall I say intuitively. They create the art they want to create. Period. And sure, there’s challenging parts about it. Days where it’s a struggle. They push through, they have discipline. They DO NOT question things on an esoteric level, nor do they tear apart the gameplan when a bit of pushback comes.
