Short Story Writers Anonymous (SSWA) is a support group for writers dealing with writer's block. It was founded in 1999 by Jeanne-Marie Wade, the author of the book "Writing Short Stories: A Step-by-Step Guide" (reprinted 2003). The group holds monthly meetings in an informal setting in the Boston area. The concept of writer's block originated in 1972, when Samuel Youd published his famous article Brainwashing or Writing? Youd attributed writer's block to the lack of inspiration caused by writers who were constantly switching between their own ideas and those of other writers. He coined the term “brainwashing” to describe this phenomenon, which he believed harmed creativity. In response to Youd's article, the writer Joyce Carol Oates wrote a scathing review of his ideas in "The New York Times". The article was titled "Brainwashing or Writing?" . It criticized the theory that writers are choosing unsuitable material because, as Oates put it, “It is clear that many writers are overtaxed”. She also pointed out that her own experience writing had suggested to her that she should “leave the heavy stuff to the heavy-hitters”. Following this article, writer's block went from being an interesting idea into a serious problem. 8eeb4e9f32 40
