 Resistance can be said to be anything and everything that stops you from doing your writing and all that you need to do to succeed as an author.
Resistance shows up in numerous different ways and often as the voice of the inner critic.
If you regularly put off the moment to start writing, feel overwhelmed with doubts and hear challenges such as, “Who are you to write a book?” – resistance is at work.
Resistance is the opposite of inspiration and is a natural part of the creative process. If you want to write, you need to learn how to manage your creative anxiety.
Here are 7 ways for writers to overcome resistance:

 As a writer, the way in which you begin any creative writing session sets the tone for everything that follows. The mindset you bring to the page affects how your writing flows – or not as the case may be!
Beginnings are important at every level, from connecting to the creative impulse as it arises to taking time to prepare so that all aspects of yourself are in complete alignment and you feel ready to write.
One simple but effective way to do this is to spend some time in stillness before you write to encourage deep writing to flow.
Your primary focus may well be on the best way to begin your writing session. However, endings are just as important because the way you complete your writing session will determine the quality, and the results, of your next activity.

 Most writers know the feeling of creative abundance. The energy of it sparkles, ideas are plentiful, there is a natural sense of infinite possibility and a real clarity of focus.
Yet how often is that feeling fully present? For many writers, the answer to that question is not often enough!
We forget that putting energy out to the world on a constant basis means that we need to replenish our inner creative well regularly. Unless we do so, we end up having to write despite feeling depleted just to get our writing done.
Even if we understand the importance of nurturing our creative soul, other commitments and priorities – real or imagined – frequently take precendence.
Breaking through onto a new level of creative abundance with your writing requires a conscious choice to fan the flames of your creative fire. So how do you fire up your imagination to write?

Julia McCutchen interviews Judy Reeves 
Every writer dreams of “getting away”, of finding a time and place where she can really focus on her writing.
But what if “away” is a state of mind and that secret, hidden retreat is as near as your sofa or kitchen table or the café around the corner? It’s called writing practice and it’s in creating such a practice that the novel or memoir or story will actually get written. Through writing practice, every day becomes a writing day.
In this interview, you’ll learn:
- How to create a daily writing practice
- Tips and techniques for finding time and creating space
- How to get started (and how to keep going)
- Why and how to use writing prompts
- What stuck looks like and how to get unstuck
- How to avoid the critic, the editor and the censor
- What the 12 essential guidelines for writers are
Judy Reeves is a writer, teacher, and writing practice provocateur who has written four books on writing including A Writer’s Book of Days and Writing Alone, Writing Together. Her work has appeared in magazines, journals, anthologies and in the spoken word compilation First Friday: Year 3. She’s also the editor of the Brown Bag Anthology, and a cofounder of the Writing Center, a nonprofit literary arts organization. In addition to leading writing practice groups, Judy holds private workshops, teaches at University of California San Diego Extension; San Diego Writers, Ink; and writing conferences internationally. She lives in San Diego, CA. Visit her online at www.judyreeveswriter.com.

 The New Year is a fabulous time to inject a fresh burst of energy into your plans for writing your book for publication.
So here are 7 tips to help you have your best writing year yet:
Identify what’s really important to you about your writing. So many people today live in the fast lane. As a result, it is easy to lose sight of what really matters.
1. Identify what’s really important to you about your writing. So many people today live in the fast lane. As a result, it is easy to lose sight of what really matters.
With your writing, being consciously connected to what is really important enables you to give yourself permission to prioritise your writing time. This means that you will get your writing done and feel more creatively satisfied as a result.
So start this year by taking time to re-connect to the source of your inspiration to write. Then write about that in your journal to refer back to in the coming months.
