It explains a hierarchy of writer’s blocks: story blocks at the leaf level, system blocks in the trunk, and personal blocks at the root, and argues that “writer’s block” is usually a symptom of deeper issues. The method emphasizes building roots through values, needs, backstory, impact, and personality, then setting the story trunk through a one to two sentence “point,” and finally planning story branches from protagonist through plot. The Loom also promotes the Rooted Writers Mentorship, which costs $375 a month on a sliding scale of $300 to $450, with weekly coaching and member co-writing sessions, and includes a six-month minimum commitment.
