In his decades as a psychotherapist and creativity coach, Eric Maisel has found a common thread behind what often gets labeled â€œwriterâ€™s block,â€ â€œprocrastination,â€ or â€œstage fright.â€ Itâ€™s the particular anxiety that, paradoxically, keeps creators from doing, completing, or sharing the work they are driven toward.

He shares these strategies here, including artist-specific stress management; how to work despite bruised egos, day jobs, and other inevitable frustrations; and what not to do to deal with anxiety.
