Unfinished Business as a Writer may be the source of your Creative Blockage

This sounds a little technical, I know, but if we only write when we're motivated, we may not get all that much done. Sometimes (usually) inspiration is created through motion. Period. Let's dive in.

I have this belief that unfinished business eats at an artist’s heart and soul, until they… one day… go back and finish the project that they put on the shelf all those years ago because of doubt or adversity.

I’m not the Albert Einstein of screenwriting; I don’t know if there’s science to this. But I always try and remind writers, and myself, that you STARTED THIS PROJECT FOR A REASON.

There was a moment in time where you were electric about it, obsessed, it was all you could live and breath. Real honest-to-God-passion. And somewhere along the way of writing the damn thing (or making the damn movie) you lost that passion, and kept putting off the project until it became a monster.

It is time to face that ugly monster today.
