But to be more specific, I’ll mention a few roadblocks on my path to becoming a published author, as well as some popular roadblocks that have planted themselves in front of others.

Lack of knowledge/understanding of the mechanics of writing
Television
Lack of motivation
Yard work
Laundry
Empty bellies that need filled
Dishes
Wiping noses and changing diapers
