## Resource

Part of the Substack Writer at Work Series. In 2026, I’ll be giving paid subscribers and Premier members a taste of the writing guidance I use with my students at Northwestern and my Craft of Writing on Substack course. Today, we dive into Substack writer's block, a unique but common ailment. Substack writer’s block looks like not posting—or posting lifelessly. Or giving up entirely. There are a lot of dead Substacks: Many as a result of “writer’s block.” SW@W homepage » Thank you for being part of the best community on Substack!
