It depends....if you're on a deadline crunch with your publisher you need to push forward and break the block. If you're not under the gun, I simply walk away.

I love visiting schools, talking about the story and characters and signing books, best feeling in the world.

Don't give up and make sure you write for yourself. Writing for me is a great outlet and a hobby that I love. Treat it that way and you'll be just fine. Most important tip, try not to let others beat you down. No matter how well you write you won't satisfy everyone. It''s important to listen to helpful criticism but you have to develop thick skin.

Honestly it comes and goes, sometimes it's very difficult and then sometimes I can't wait to hide, shut off the world and jump into it. As far as inspiration, after I see a good movie, I usually get excited to write.

I love history and to be honest I was embarrassed at how little I knew when it came to the American Revolution....so, this was my chance to study up!
