As I discuss in "Fire Up Your Writing Brain," writer's block is a mental construct that doesn't actually exist. If you lose momentum and find it hard to jumpstart your writing energy, there are concrete things you can do, such as go to a movie, go to an art museum, journal about the challenge that has you stymied, draw a sketch of a flower. In other words, do something creative that isn't writing and while doing so allow your mind to wander. Oftentimes you'll return to writing with vigor.

I had written two books on neuroscience and how we can apply it in everyday life, and the idea to explore how writers can use the latest neuroscience to benefit their writing became intriguing. Luckily, Writer's Digest loved the idea, and the book will pub October 19, 2015. I'm very proud of the practical applications it includes. I hope many writers will find it inspirational and helpful in developing their craft.
