If I'm struggling with a particular story or topic, I'll switch to something else. I will sometimes have multiple projects going at once, so I kind of work around writer's block and don't force a project if it's not coming to me in an organic way.

Just write from your heart. Don't try to write what you think people will want to read, write what you feel.
I have a series of non-fiction books that are published, which feeds my writing passion in a different way than writing novels. Write blogs. Write short stories. Write on a post it note. Write what is bursting out of your soul.
If you write, you are a writer. Nothing else matters.

I have the first draft done of my next novel SAME TIME YESTERDAY. I'm looking forward to sending it off to an editor soon.

I was going through a particularly tough time and saw a mug that said, "I'd rather be a mermaid." In that moment, I so got it. I wanted to run from my life and the situation I was in and become a mermaid. And so I wrote about it, but made it from a teenage daughter's perspective.
