I take a walk or do something else. I've also found it helpful to sit down and interview my characters.

I am reviewing my second novel Is This For Real? because it is going to the proofreader in a week. And I am working on the launch of Partner Pursuit.

I found it very hard to have any work/life balance when I was a lawyer at a law firm, so that inspired this in part. But I did make a lot of great friends at my law firm, so I also wanted to convey those friendships.

Take writing classes. I have learned so much from writing classes. Also classes are great for meeting other writers and finding critique partners. And of course, just write. I am a big believer in just getting words down on the page and then rewriting it. I took a Penguin writing course, and the teacher recommended setting a timer for 15 minutes and writing. And it really does work! I also recommend reading in your genre. And also read books on writing. I want to have as many tools in your writing toolbox as possible, to quote one of my favorite writing teachers Linnea Sinclair.
