Bio
Joel D Canfield is a writer. His favorite question is "Why?" Far too often the answer is "Fear." He's published 9 business books and 1 mystery.


My cleaning the bathroom is going through my emails. And inversely, all I want to do is write, but I won’t let myself do so until I’ve worked thru my endless slog of emails. Then as my reward I get to write.
However, if I ever actually have writers block I will try this do nothing trick.
Liza, I love that you recognize that writing can be the reward instead of the task. I hope you never have to find a way to make yourself write!
