I am currently working on the adaptation of another author's book into a miniseries.
It is the true story of a young boy's journey whose ailing mother left him in an orphanage one day, telling him, "I'll be right back."

Write what you feel and about what you care about, no matter what form it takes; and do not care about whether it will ever get published or not while working on the first draft of anything. If it is a novel, put the completed first draft aside for a week, then return to it and ruthlessly edit it.

The best thing about being a writer is the ability to express myself in my own voice, my own words and get it all off my chest.

Writer's block can come at any time and for elusive reasons. I try not to feel too guilty about it and find other things to do besides figuring out why it is occurring. I like to swim and will go to the pool, or read online news. In a day, or a few days, I will usually come back to whatever project I have been working on and pick up from where I left off.
