Power doesn’t answer to the will
#Blocktober returns
Welcome to the 125th issue of Subtle Maneuvers and the return of #blocktober, my annual month-long series on creative blocks.
Last year, I used this series to try to describe how blocks feel, to make some educated guesses about what causes them, and to share five ideas for getting unstuck.👇
This year, I want to kick things off with a single resonant phrase that I ran across recently, which I think perfectly captures the core dynamic of creative blockage.
