There's a reason for your writer's block. Maybe you're having a life crisis of some kind and maybe you're like me and can't write when you're upset or worrying. If you're in the middle of a book or story and you're stuck, change something. It probably means there's something wrong with the plot (change the conflict, add conflict?), characters (change the sex, POV), setting (change it). Bring a minor character to fore and make him/her a major one. Think of the "what if" questions.

Writing. I love the daze I go into when I'm writing and how the hours just fly by. A new idea is better than a Christmas present.

Write what you love reading, expect disappointment, be prepared for some heavy knocks and be patient if you're hoping to be traditionally published (publishers seem to have a helluva time to respond).

A fantasy novel set in Portugal. There are demons afoot! Well, not afoot but living in a dolmen.

During a walk along the beach usually. It's amazing how ideas come to me there. Sometimes during my shower in the morning. It's amazing how water affects me, isn't it?

I live in Portugal, love the sea - indeed, anything about watery places, even ponds intrigue me - and I love the Alentejo part of Portugal. All reasons to write about them.
