Reframe a Creative Block as Information Rather Than Failure
The block is not evidence that you have lost it. It is more likely evidence that something in the work is unresolved and your creative instinct is declining to make it worse by continuing. This reframes the block as information: what it might be telling you about the work, whether it is project-specific or broader, what it is not, and one action that engages with it rather than bulldozes through it.
Reframe the creative block described below as information about the work rather than evidence of failure. For the block and context described: 1. What the block might be telling you about the work: what is unresolved, unclear, or structurally wrong that the block is protecting you from making worse 2. Whether this is a block with the current project or a more general relationship with the creative practice 3. What the block is not: the reasons it is not evidence of lost ability, a permanent change, or identity failure 4. One specific action to take that engages with the block as information rather than overcoming it by force <paste> [describe the creative practice, how long the block has been present, and what it feels like when you sit down to work] </paste>
