I don't 😂
I'm quite bad when it comes to writer's block, I get annoyed, maybe drink a cup of coffee and then give it a rest for the moment. I often find if you're having a block, there's a reason, so as long as you're not on a tight deadline, taking a momentary rest to recover your creative energy is not going to hurt. Forced creativity doesn't tend to yield the best results.
At the same time, you have to make sure after a block you get straight back on it and don't become weighed down by bouts of procrastination.

Catharsis... and other writers.... and readers, too.

Don't be afraid. Be personal and be passionate. Everyone can be a writer, the real difference is your dedication to it, your willingness to fail on occasion, and your ability to dig deep into your soul to create beauty.

Marketing this, and then I will be working on editing a play I wrote for my MA in Playwriting. I'm hoping to have it performed at a Fringe festival of some sort.

Music. Instagram Poetry. Nature.
I usually find I'm inspired most either when I'm on the bus or the train, and listening to some gentle acoustic, Bon Iver type music or late at night and early in the morning.

It's cliche but life. I've had an unusual, and very dramatic life so far, and I have often found myself having to heal and survive on my own, or finding ways to deal with life independently. As much as I have friends and certain family members, I've historically avoided relying on them too much (which you should never do btw tell anyone you trust). So this is a collection of all the emotions I've felt, with a celebration for every single one of them, because each has helped me to heal.
