What exactly is stage fright
Stage fright or performance anxiety is the anxiety, fear, or persistent phobia which may be aroused in an individual by the requirement to perform in front of an audience, whether actually or potentially. In the context of public speaking, this may precede or accompany participation in any activity involving public self-presentation.
Who can it affect.
Stage fright may be observed in people of all experiences and backgrounds, from those who are completely new to being in front of an audience to those who have done so for years.

Many people with no other problems in communication can experience stage fright, but some people with chronic stage fright also have social anxiety or social phobia which are chronic feelings of high anxiety in any social situation. Stage fright can also be seen in school situations, like stand up projects and class speeches.

HOW DOES IT AFFECT WRITERS
In my explanations, I focused mainly on how it affected speakers. My post is titled how it affect writers. Then if you are a writer or it's your first time writing you sometimes feel stage fright in a way you wouldn't instantly understand that it is stage fright.
Take for instance
When you are set to write what you know very well, then at the time you forget the exact template to your work. Well, you may call it a bloc; but my brother or sister you just experienced stage fright.
It is always as
- Experiencing a block
- Forgetting important parts of your write up
- Inclusion of facts that are irrelevant to your context
- Shaky and sweaty hands that affects your normal calligraphy.
- Little facts to support your work.
- Blank page syndrome
Experiencing writer block
Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work or experiences a creative slowdown. The condition ranges in difficulty from coming up with original ideas to being unable to produce a work for years. Throughout history, writer's block has been a documented problem. When you notice this, brother sister you are experiencing stage fright for writers.
Blank page syndrome
Blank page syndrome is similar to writer's block, but is not a psychological term. It can happen to a writer at any point in time, irrespective of their career success. This syndrome can be very irksome to authors and often leads to a long span of time where they cannot come up with anything new. Coping strategies include: distracting oneself from the piece for a while, reading a book, and forcing oneself to write something even if it makes no sense. To avoid blank page syndrome, it is best to have an idea when one sits down to write, and to keep from procrastinating because stress only worsens the blank page syndrome.
I HOPE THAT FROM NOW YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE STAGE FRIGHT. check out coping strategies.
