Questions people ask

Why can't I finish creative projects?

Often because someone else takes the chair between sitting down and actually making anything. Not a mood — a character, with a consistent argument, who meets you at the threshold every time.

How long does this quiz take?

Seven questions, about two minutes. Free, no account required.

What are the five characters?

The Critic in the Doorway, the Understudy, the Vanishing Visionary, the Permission-Asker, and the Ghostwriter of Someone Else's Voice.

Is this the same as creative block?

It is a more specific version. Block describes the outcome; this names who is producing it, and the five characters block in genuinely different ways — one criticises, one defers, one dissolves the vision, one waits for approval, one writes in a borrowed voice.

What if I can't tell which one it is?

Answer for what actually happens rather than what you would like to be true, and the pattern usually names itself. Most people recognise their character immediately once it is described as a person rather than as a mood.
