Writer's block afflicts all writers, no matter how experience or successful, the key is shaking it off. My technique is to take a long hot shower, and play the story in my head like a movie. I immerse myself in the story world, shutting out everything around me.
I then sit down at the keyboard and start a new scene... a throwaway scene. I just toss whatever comes to my head onto the page, and before long it transforms from a throwaway scene, to 2,000 + words of a decent scene that can always be edited and fine tuned. At the end of the day, I have conquered writer's block, and done some writing.

The most rewarding aspect of being a writer is being able to share my imagination with the world. I love hearing how much people enjoyed my story.

Don't focus on the money, in fact be prepared to work for free. The real reward of writing is sharing your imagination, talent, and knowledge with the world. If the money comes, that's just a bonus.

I'm currently working on the second book in the Kat Delaney series. I normally don't title my books until near completion, so for now I refer to the working title of KD2.

I find that reading novels, or books of history, or real crime, my mind begins to conjure up ideas for stories of my own.
