According to the article the first step is for the teacher to identify if the problem is a result of overthinking about rules and strategies. A common
correction to this problem is to simply focus on finishing the draft, and for the student to worry about grammar rules and technical of the such

generate new ideas. Ask people you trust to read over your work in order to receive their feedback and suggestions. And finally look for words of
encouragement from others, because nobody can be a perfect writer on the own.
