Screenwriting : Fear of failure masquerading as writers block by Jason C Killpack

I don't know about all of you but I know for me; I love it when I find myself up against a roadblock in my writing, be it writing, finding time to write, even better finding reasons to write. So there I was last night finding myself on twitter in the wee hours of the morn, because I was stumped, confounded by what I thought was good ole fashioned writers block when it hit me. I have been working on my current sci-fi script for months now and I have yet to finish the dialogue, the story is fleshed out everything is ready to go ...I've just been caught in the snare of the dialogue. 3 a.m. and I realized it's not writers block that's keeping me from writing , it is the fear that my dialogue will not be as good as my story. I always feel like a fool when this happens, because all I needed to remember was that I just needed to start writing and the dialogue would sort itself out , with every revision and rewrite the words on the page would meet the metal of the story and it will evolve into the script it was meant to be. Good , great, even better I just have to remember to write , keep writing and the words will come, they always do. Any-who that's my meandering thoughts on writers block. I do so enjoy it when my thoughts surprise me and remind me of lessons learned. I ended up writing a good 30 pages last night #ftw
