I've been having panic attacks spinning articles for this one site. I used to sit down and chug out word after word of nothing to complete a $3-5 article, but for my body, I suppose my standards have risen. I can't write about something about which I'm not passionate. How strange that such standards would manifest themselves in fear and panic attacks.
So how do you deal with panic attacks that are keeping you from earning your bread and butter? This site is the only site with regular work that I'm a part of that I know I can write something and make solid money doing it.
Nick Usborne, in When Panic Attacks Writers promises that if you have a panic attack related to writing that you should take two hours away, doing something else. I think he's right. My brain is still on write mode though, I just might finish this.
