克服写作障碍
Overcoming Writer's Block
导读
这篇博客讨论如何克服写作瓶颈，评论者补充了更根本的视角：写作不只是“坐下来写”这一件事，收集素材、编辑、综合都是写作的一部分；卡住也可能是因为身心疲惫或与读者的关系变化。适合所有把“写不出来”当成个人失败的写作者读。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
把写作拆成收集素材、编辑、综合等多个阶段，任何时候都有能推进项目的事可做，不必对着空白页硬写。
- 02
用“两分钟法则”启动：告诉自己只写两分钟且允许随时停下，往往一旦开始就会继续下去。
- 03
偶尔离开电脑，只带纸笔到别处去，迫使自己要么写要么什么都不做。
- 04
卡住时先检查身体和生活状态：睡眠不足、生病、家中变故都会让你暂时“无话可说”，这不是意志力问题。

把写作拆成多个阶段，任何阶段都有可推进的事，就不存在绝对的“卡住”。
读到杰里·温伯格的《The Fieldstone Method》后，我对“写作瓶颈”的看法完全变了。现在我很几乎不会从空白页开始，也很少再为“写不出来”自责。书里把写作拆成多个阶段：有时你在收集“石头”（做研究），有时在编辑，有时在综合整理。无论如何，总有一件能推动你前进的事可做。

My entire perspective on "writer's block" shifted after surreptitiously stumbling on Jerry Weinberg's book "The fieldstone method". I very rarely now start with a blank page and very rarely beat myself up for "writer's block". In a nutshell, the book describes how the act of writing can be broken down into many stages: sometimes you are collecting "fieldstones" (i.e. research), sometimes you editing, and sometimes you are synthesizing. Regardless, there's always something to do that moves you forward. * Field stone method - https://geraldmweinberg.com/Site/On_Writing.html
写作瓶颈常是身心状态或读者关系变化的信号，休整本身也是写作的一部分。
有时你只是累了，生活里事情太多，需要先照顾好自己。身心不是分离的：生病、睡眠不足、亲人去世之后，你可能真的“无话可说”，直到这些情况缓解。另一种情况是你与读者的关系变了：也许你的生活变了，也许读者群扩大了，收到的反馈不同了，事情的发展超出预期。这时你需要时间消化，再决定怎么调整。“休息”有时并不是真的休息，而是在努力处理上述问题，好让写作变得更好。

Sometimes, you're just exhausted, have too much going on in life and need to take care of yourself. Your mind and body aren't separate. If you are ill, not getting enough sleep, recently had a death in the family, etc, you may just have "nothing to say" until some of that is resolved. Other times, your relationship to your audience has changed. Maybe you/your life changed and that changes your relationship to everything else. Maybe your audience grew and you are getting different feedback than what you used to get or things went places you didn't expect. Now you need time to digest that info and decide how best to adjust what you are doing. Sometimes "taking a break" isn't really a break. Sometimes it's working hard on something like one of the two above issues so your writing will be better.
用两分钟的低承诺骗过大脑启动写作，再用纸笔和离开手机减少干扰。
我觉得“两分钟法则”挺管用：不管想做什么，先定时两分钟，按下开始，真的相信两分钟后可以停下。一旦开始，很少真的在两分钟就停。但只告诉大脑“就两分钟，看看会怎样”，它反而愿意给你两分钟的专注。另外，别用电脑写：拿纸笔，把手机留在桌上，换个地方。你坐在那里只能写或者什么都不做，这也有帮助。
ButWhatFor查看英文原文
I find that the “two minute rule” works pretty well. Whatever you want to do, set a timer for two minutes. Hit start and do that thing for two minutes and really beleive that after two minutes you can stop. Once you get going you rarely stop after two minutes. But telling your brain only twos minutes, and let’s see what happens, kind of let’s your brain give you two minutes to focus. Oh, and go write without a computer. Get a pen and paper and leave ur phone on your desk - go somewhere else. You get to sit there and either write or do nothing. That tends to help too.
用幽默文献说明“写作瓶颈”自疗之难，提醒我们别太苛责自己。
跑个题，这让我想起那篇精彩又极短的论文《一例“写作瓶颈”的自我治疗失败》，全文只有一句话式的玩笑式记录。

Off-topic, but I was reminded of the brilliant (and much shorter) paper The Unsuccessful Self-Treatment of a Case of “Writer's Block”, full text here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1311997/?page=1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_unsuccessful_self-treatment_of_a_case_of_%22writer%27s_block%22
