After doing my own primary research and understanding the real struggles and causes of writer’s block, I tried to understand ways we can combat this problem. In Jennifer Lach’s article, The Psychology of Writer’s Block (And How to Overcome It), she states that “Most writers struggle with fear. Fear of putting themselves and their ideas out there. Fear of others judging them or criticizing their work. Fear of being rejected by publishers or their readers. While fear is completely normal, it becomes a problem once it prevents you from creating anything new. Fear is possibly the biggest reason that some writers don’t make it” One of the biggest reasons fear plays such a major role as to why we can get writer’s block is because of the uncertainty that comes with it. When we are fearful of the “what ifs” in life it stops us from making decisions. Fear affects our choices as much as it affects our writing. That is where courage comes in to take risks. Writing comes with breaking out of stigmas, creating content that has never been heard before, all of which comes with removing our inner fears. Once a writer can overcome the mind games fear can play with them, nothing can stop them or their flow of ideas. 
She addresses new reasons where “It’s normal to want to do our very best, to get everything just right before we even start our first sentence. Most people use perfectionism as a protection mechanism, to protect themselves from harsh critique or failure. Unfortunately, trying to write the perfect sentence, paragraph, or novel will lead most writers to never write a single word”. I believe that perfection comes with our imperfections. There is absolutely no one or nothing that is perfect in this world because what even defines what is perfect if it is unable to be achieved? Perfectionism is subjective because everyone has different opinions on what they believe is perfect. In that case, why must writers feel the need to quit because they have not achieved perfectionism if there is no set definition of the term? As writers, we must stop doubting ourselves and our abilities in the content we can create. In the process of striving to write the perfect sentence, no one can succeed since it does not exist. The best thing an individual can do is believe in themselves and their words. One can hold confidence in themselves and in their content that it is strong the way it is. 
The cure that will impact me the most is when I stop being harsh on myself. She states, “We are our own worst critics. Excessive self-criticism is often what holds writers back from actually writing. Most writers compare their work with that of other, more successful writers or even to their own earlier work”. Self criticism can be one of the strongest factors of writer’s block. Oftentimes, we are never satisfied with ourselves and it makes it hard for us to know when to be done with revisions. Personally, this is the hardest struggle I face in my writing and in my life. I can be extremely critical towards my work and can overthink if my writing is strong or weak. It is hard to combat but I eventually believe in my writing’s strength by fixing mine and my peer’s revisions on it, creating the best work possible. 
Curing writer’s block can root from many small aspects of your life and when it is changed can create a positive impact on one mentally. Purdue University conducted research on new techniques that can improve writer’s block in their article, 7 Ways to Overcome Writer’s Block. One of the methods that stood out to me was the Pomodoro Technique where “Francesco Cirillo, developer of the Pomodoro technique, says people are most productive in 25-minute blocks”. This technique has been very effective for multiple writers. Rather than stretching yourself for long hours to write that can increase the chances of blockage, writing in 25 minute segments creates more of a writing flow. It avoids burning yourself out and frying your brain and allows you to relax your mind into segments of working. 
Another technique that helps is by enhancing your workspace. The article states to “Declutter or try putting out fresh flowers or a picture of what inspires you. Take into account the time of day you are most productive. If you aren’t a morning person, don’t try to write in the morning. If you’re constantly restless, try writing while standing up. In addition, consider the temperature and noise. If you’re uncomfortable, writing will be harder, and if you’re distracted, nearly impossible”. This allows your mind to be fresh and “decluttered” where your external environment positively affects your internal thoughts. 
The last and most unique technique that stood out strongly was not even giving writer’s block a name because “According to the American Psychological Association (APA), many psychologists don’t even believe that writer’s block exists. Psychologist Steven Pritzker told the APA that it’s ‘an artificial construct that justifies a discipline problem.’ Professor Paul Silvi told the APA that “naming something gives it power.” If we do not give the importance and power that writer’s block takes over us, it is almost equivalent to it not existing. Let us make our mind as strong as possible where we can build the endurance and solidity to win the battle against writer’s block!
