&lt;div class="asl-wikipage-summary"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many writers tend to isolate themselves from the world around them when writing. Art Holcomb, screenwriter, playwright and author, calls this the &amp;quot;hunker down&amp;quot; mentality, and he strongly recommends that writers avoid this approach. When hunkered down, writers miss the possibility of being creatively influenced by their environment and the world they are trying to write about. Maximize your talent and skills and avoid writer&amp;#39;s block by challenging yourself and exploring - you need to see all of the possibilities to get the best story out of yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
