Have a process. Don't simply try to create using somebody else's process. That's like trying to wear their identity. It simply doesn't work.
Develop your own process, the one that works for you and IS you, and trust it.
I think "block" is just another word for "fear." A process you can trust and the talent you have (you wouldn't be driven to write if there was no talent to do it) are all you really need to counter fear and do it anyways.

Keep writing. That's really the only difference between being a published author and regret that you never became a published author.

The second women's contemporary romance in the new North of Boston series. These are heartwarming second-chance-at-love stories with lots of banter, laughter and tears and happy endings.

It might be a character, a situation, a place or just a feeling, usually inspired from something someone said, an article in a newspaper, a comment by a favourite radio broadcaster - really, ideas come from everywhere. They're all around us, in the air! There are far, far too many of them. The challenge is picking the best, running with it and ignoring the distraction of all the other delicious ideas for long enough to get the current project done and published.

My most recent book started out as one 10-year-old girl who was eager to tell me her story and introduce me to her friends and her world. One book wasn't enough - there are now 4 books in The Morley Stories series for middle grade readers, with the 4th, Rules for Flying, to be published in September 2020.
