I had quite a few books on my summer reading list this year! Summer has, unfortunately, gotten away from me - so the summer reading list is the fall reading list! On it, you'll find 'Keep Me Posted' by Lisa Beazley, 'Women Who Run With The Wolves' by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, The Apocalypse Diaries by Dianah Brock, and The Handmaid's Tale/The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

The best thing for me is being able to clean my brain out on a daily basis. Sometimes, just having the ability to write my thoughts out is a huge blessing. When someone reads it and either relates or enjoys it, well - that's just ten times more awesome.

This might not be the healthiest answer to the question, but I talk to myself. I begin a conversation out loud where ask, "Where are we going with this?" and I'll answer, "Well, the hero is setting out to..."
...and I can usually work it out within a few hours. This method also lets me know if it's actually writer's block that I'm dealing with, or if I just need nap. It's a pretty freeing exercise - I mean, my roommate thinks I'm crazy, but whatever. ;)
