Linda Govik I'm now working on the sequel to Legacy.
Linda Govik Never give up. And believe in yourself. And read a lot and allow yourself to make mistakes. And hire an editor!
Linda Govik The best thing is this happy, glowing feeling you get when you write, but also the feeling you get when your readers interact with you. I love both these things. And, of course, to be able to create characters and worlds to your liking is quite a magnificent thing!
Linda Govik The best way to deal with writer's block is, as everyone else is probably saying, just to sit down and write. Or, alternatively, skip the writing for a while. It's like this: if you don't have any deadlines with your writing, you don't NEED to write. Do other things until the block vanishes. The urge to write will be stifled on occasion, but never completely gone.
Another way might be to skip whatever part in your writing it is that you can't really be bothered with, and move on to write something else. It might be another scene from the same WiP, or something new, or just a journal entry.
