HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY : The 2 Step Method.
We're back at it in full swing baby. BOOK.6 --- and I think i figured out what was holding me up, and how not to let that happen again + A Book.6 Update: "The Creed of Suffering"
1.) How I started Writing Book.6 with excitement again.
Aha! Cracking codes.
I admit I was stuck.

What does that even mean? I think I know now. Or at least, i have a process to solve it for myself when it arises.
2.)Practically how it is working out for me in book.6 is Im writing it the way i like to write things:
-Illustrating 1 Year of JiuJitsu Experience.
-Illustrating the WAY OF MEN system
-Illustrating Existential Tool Kits.
I like Categorize, label, and illustrate. I like to write by learning and doing. I like to harness experience and the way things felt.

If you say to yourself “don’t miss the foul shot” you miss the foul shot.
WHY IS THAT? PLEASE EXPLAIN.
Sure thing, here’s my explanation and process for solving this STUCKNESS PROBLEM:
