Getting to write.
Laura Gilfillan
I am currently working to revamp "The Magic Thieves," which was my first novel, and due to my inexperience at the time I first wrote it, needs a bit of work to improve the quality of the writing. The reason I wanted to take another whack at it is because I have also started writing the sequel for it. So I am currently working on two novels in tandem: "The Magic Thieves", and its sequel, "The Magic Guardians."

I go back to where things went bad and start writing an alternate way that the story could go from there. Sometimes I try several different ideas, until something takes off again. It seems to me that the way to deal with a writing block is to just start writing, anything, even if it's junk, until good ideas can start to flow again. It's just that, I think that a block is a useful indication that something has gone wrong with the storyline, and needs to be fixed.
