I guess the regular answer is to keep writing and keep reading, but the other part I think that is really important is having a plan. Some people misunderstand that part. But spending a little time carefully thinking about what you're doing and why can really get you through those tough times. There are lots of tough times.

I don't quite believe in writer's block. I believe in that creative energy ebbs and flows and that you can have multiple tracks of creativity. I've often found that when it's hard to write, I'm at my most creative and powerful doing aikido or tai chi chuan. It's more about understanding flow and knowing your writing energy may need to rest for a bit.

I'm working on a second full-length collection of poems and a non-fiction/memoir project around my years in Japan and practicing aikido.
