Today I wanted to share with y’all the different tactics that helped me bust through writer’s block as I crafted my latest zine, catmothcrow three, and a few prompts that helped shape the final form this zine took. Part of writing zines is dealing with writer’s block, but hopefully these tips and ideas will help the block be more of a tiny hurdle you can skip on over, rather than some sort of massive labyrinth that leaves you feeling lost.

Like many zinesters, I’m a journaler. A daily diarist, note-taker, recorder, and doodler. If I don’t write something down I tend to forget it, and while I rarely re-read my diaries, there’s just something about the act of writing that helps the memories gel. Which is all just to say that I’ve got a pretty sizeable collection of journals that I work out of.
