I found Franzen's take inspiring and I think it could apply well beyond writing. "Although it's terrible to go through I have great respect for blockage and I've learned to listen carefully to what it's saying. In my experience it happens when I'm trying to write something that I'm not ready to write, or that I don't really *want* to write. And there's no way to discover my unreadiness or unwillingness except to try and fail."

Chris Mowles has some fantastic things to say about what I'd call the shadow of facilitation. I'm very conscious of having fallen into some of the traps he points out – and even more so of being in the position of a frustrated participant at over-organised events. Hat tip: Lynn Walsh
