Get into my characters' heads. Ask myself what they want most in the world, what they want most in that moment.
Write about it. Write about not being able to write. Ask yourself questions.
Run.
Read; watch a movie; be in a crowd; search anywhere, everywhere for inspiration, answers, questions.
Take a break, give your head a rest.
After that, persist! Plow through it.

The love. The highs. I love that I love my characters or descriptive imagery that conjures pathos or knowing I've just written a genuinely thrilling, emotional passage.

Don't quit. Endure. Write a few words every day. Write something. Mostly, though, don't quit.

The lengthy sequel to Bloodwood. It does not involve vampires, but it is a thrilling tale from the Underverse that involves a pair of pocket watches that whisk you through time.
