Whenever I feel blocked and I can't cope I just leave it and do something else. That might be going out with friends, talking to someone on the phone or just playing a little bit of music. if I feel like writing I will write, if I don't feel like it, I won't do it.

Ok, I am going to be 100% honest here. I don't read. I just don't.
I only read 1 book in my whole life and I got so bored that I don't find books apealing by any means. I read white papers, articles and so on, mostly related to neuromarketing or communications.

I get to make people laugh. The greatest thing about my book was hearing people I didn't even knew telling me that I made them laugh and that they had a great time. That's it for me.

I am not that sure if I should be giving advice on writing. But I guess I would just tell someone to have fun with it. If writing makes you happy, write until you don't want to write no more, don't keep going just because you told youself you would write a book. One thing that worked for me was to have small goals and being able to reach that goal at a time. Working chapter by chapter made it possible for me. Also, make sure you have something to say. Many people write just because they want to show to world they can do it, but they don't have anything to say. Find your voice and share it with passion, modesty and grace.

I have quite a few projects going on right now. I am currently writing for a huge body positive focused site while I am making the guidelines for my next book. I always have something going on, if it's not writing it could be painting, illustrating, playing music or just planning trips.

I don't force myself to get inspired. Writing is a joy for me, is what keeps me going and what makes my days. If I don't feel like writing I just won't write and that's all.

From my own experiences. I always had in mind writing a story that could be real, relatable and that could help someone to be easy on him/herself. I wish someone would have told the 17 year old me, some of the stories I wrote in my book.
