This is going to be a little harsh, but this is so not the place to bring this up or ask me about participating in an event I'm hosting. In the event description, I told people how to approach me about being involve. I didn't think it was that challenging to figure out.

Start by having fun with it. Don't worry about whether your first writing projects will sell. Work on making writing a fun and joyful experience, so that you can draw on that later when it starts to feel like work.

Seeing how much people love my books. I'm a storyteller at heart, and being a writer gives me the chance to share stories with people all over the world.

Ignore it. I don't believe writer's block is a real thing. Working writers can't afford to give into the myth.
