When I feel stuck and my energy flags, I generally go for a walk. There's something about being outside in nature, noticing the world around me that usually helps to undo the block and figure out what needs to happen next in my story.

The best thing about being a writer is finding out what you think and believe and what really matters in the process of writing. Writing is a doorway into the soul--and an invitation to find the words that express who you truly are.

Send your inner critic on vacation and give yourself the freedom to keep writing every day, even when you think what you have is terrible. Every first draft is terrible in its own way, but it's essential to trust the process and stay with it. When you get to the second draft of whatever you're writing--a story, a novel, an essay--it will come so much more easily. But your inner critic should remain on vacation for that draft too.
