What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Madelyn Hill I'm sure they have heard this before, but write, write, and write some more. The more you write, the more you develop your voice and improve your writing. Also, you have to read. I read all genres and even non-fiction, but I am always reading.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Madelyn Hill I research. That usually helps me find something to add to the story and I'm forced to get writing. Also, if I'm stuck in a particular spot, but know what the next scene should entail, I'll pop in notes like, "Hero will arrive, but not say what the heroine wants to hear" or "Hero does this, Heroine does that", etc.
