Description

When the world feels overwhelming, it’s easy for writers to freeze up, shut down, or lose faith in their creative voice.

In this episode of Tell The Damn Story, Alex and Chris talk honestly about how to push through writer’s block when fear, frustration, or negativity weigh heavy on your shoulders.

We explore how writing can act as an emotional release, why creative expression matters most in troubling times, and the simple, practical steps you can take to keep putting words on the page—even when the world feels like it’s closing in.

Whether you’re a novelist, screenwriter, or just someone trying to get your story out, this conversation is a reminder: your words matter, and the act of writing can be your strongest survival skill.
