S J WATSON

Most creative problems aren’t solved by better advice, but by better understanding.

Writers get stuck not because they’re blocked, but because they’re trying to answer the wrong question.

​

The work here is about slowing that moment down — paying attention to structure, intention, and consequence — and learning how to work inside uncertainty rather than trying to escape it.

I’m S J Watson, a novelist, and this site brings together my published work, ongoing thinking, and a quiet, serious practice with writers and other creatives.
