The Write Habit

Facing Fear and Finding Calm in Your Writing

Dr Nicole Janz

Are you avoiding a piece of writing because it feels emotionally overwhelming or tied to something deeply personal?

In this episode which is another Write Walk, I take you on a reflective journey through my garden—a safe, grounding space where I confront my own fears and resistance to writing a high-stakes piece.

You’ll hear how a few moments in nature helped me:

  • Calm my nervous system and process the emotions behind my writing blocks.
  • Shift from overthinking to taking action, even when the task felt daunting.
  • Discover clarity and motivation to complete a project I’d been avoiding for weeks.

By the end, I invite you to reflect on your own unwritten projects and explore the emotions holding you back. Whether it’s a book, article, or poem, you’ll find inspiration to step outside, take a breath, and reconnect with your writing.
