Write. Write. Write and be prepared for the unexpected. This book started as a story for my niece, but it took a a lot of work and time for me to pursue it through to publication. I had to be willing to take chances and invest in myself to get to this point. Also its important to recognize that every journey is different. Self publishing worked for my goals, but might not for yours. Find the right path for yourself.

The best thing about being a writer is the act of creation. While what I create is not always fresh and new I do love building characters and worlds. However, most of my day to day writing is reflecting on worlds and characters that others create -- seeing the cultural connections and impressions these stories make.

Writer's block is tough. A lot of it has to do with finding breathing space and doing things that will kick start my brain. So see a movie, read a good book, hang out with friends. Then after a few days sit back down to the keyboard and accept what comes even if it is terrible. The worst thing you can do is to not write at all.
