Writer's block does not happen TOO much with me, for whatever reason, but when it does, I just take a break. Go for a walk. Chat with a friend. Watch a movie. Play a video game. Just something to take my mind off it for a while.
Writer's block generally happens because you are TOO focused on what needs to happen next in your writing, and you are trying to force your brain to a place it just is not ready to go yet.
Take a break! Start fresh tomorrow!!

The best thing about being a writer is the thought of making a difference in someone's life with one's writing. When you see a new review come in, see people discussing your book, or even just seeing them start to sell, it is very fulfilling!

My advice would be to put fear aside, and just jump in and do it. As you write there will be days where it becomes difficult, and you feel blocked. You might feel like it is too much to do, and want to quit.
Don't quit. When you hold the first proof of the book that you created it is an awesome moment, and you will know it was worth it.

I currently am finishing up a book called "What Muses Do". It is the second book concerning the actions of Muses, and I have total of three of those planned. That is a brief introduction to the current project.
In terms of all my projects, I currently have 9 books in the works in various states of planning and completion.
I will keep everyone updated on the progress!

Well, I have always enjoyed writing, am considered pretty creative, AND I actually have a Muse, so inspiration is not generally the issue.
I have a great passion for writing and write every day. Where I need inspiration is on the business side of publishing! That is more of a struggle for me.

Well, my most recent book is called, "The Modern Muse", and the way I got the idea is that I actually HAVE a muse. I wrote for her, and she encouraged me to start publishing my books! She actually came up with the idea of calling the poetry collection, "The Modern Muse", because she IS a modern muse!
