What You Can Learn from 'Writer’s Block' (Even If You Aren't a Writer)

According to the Comprehensive Dictionary of Psychoanalysis, the phrase "writer's block" was first invented by a psychoanalyst named Edmund Bergler in 1947. Today, a quick Internet search on “writer’s block” yields more than 31 million results.

The New Story Is was originally called Written, Spoken with Dave Ursillo, a podcast in which the written word came to life as the spoken word through the voices of the writers who wrote them.

Created and hosted by writer, author, and teacher of creative self-expression Dave Ursillo (DaveUrsillo.com, TheNewStory.Is), Written, Spoken was a creative experiment that blended mixed mediums to explore a new way of connecting with audiences.

The show's first two seasons remained archived and available for your listening enjoyment.

Season 1, Episode 7 of 'Written, Spoken' reveals the story behind the story of "writer's block", and why writers everywhere ought to stop telling this story.
