My most recent book, Verdigris, was written over the last 4 years of my life from my early to mid-twenties. It's a book about growing through what you go through in not only your romantic relationships but your relationship with yourself as well.

Just start. I had no idea what I was doing when I began writing poetry. At first, I only shared my work anonymously from an account where no one would know it was me. There was NO way I could deal with having friends, family, people I knew reading my work. That was the way I felt comfortable getting started but you have to do what's right for you. The rest will fall into place. Remember that everyone starts at zero.

I deal with writer's block in one of two polar opposite ways: writing every single day (even if it's just one half-hearted poem) or taking a total break and not putting any pressure on myself. I'm usually able to see what type of writer's block I'm having and can pick the option that will help me best.
Another thing that really helps me is changing my environment. Writing outside or in a different location had always been a dependable way to get out of a slump and find new inspiration.
