Stop Fearing the Blank Page

By Brendan O’Meara

Why the fear of the blank page? All the time you hear writers lament that the blank pages gives them all kinds of anxiety.

It’s time to rethink the blank page for what it is: a new beginning.

Don’t be paralyzed by the whiteness of it all. Don’t look at the taunting cursor. Flip the script.

It might sound cool to lament about the struggle, how crippling all those possibilities can be. Because it’s blank, it can be horrible or it can be great or somewhere in between, but you’ll never know unless you start.

It probably will be bad, but pros show up to work.

That blank page is a gift, man, a freakin’ gift.

It can be anything, so let it.
