Hey. It looks like you're on track and ready to smash this chapter out. I think it would be really interesting to add some physiological mechanisms involved with Writer's block too. Here is an article I found about it :) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1038/icb.2017.67 good luck completing the rest of your chapter!

Hi there! You have done a great job of laying out what you are going to discuss for writer's block! I just thought that it may be interesting to discuss how famous authors regard their writers block and how they might overcome it! This might give some insight into genuine cases of writer's block and show that it happens to even the most famous writers :) --U3190016 (discuss • contribs) 13:17, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
