Often taking a break helps immensely.
The treatment to writer's block is the following (not necessarily in order):
Family, friends and fans' encouragement, interest and support
Music that moves you.
A new environment.
Reading diverse books.
Re-reading your own work so that you may find the way you had previously lost.
Coffee (No kidding!)

Patience & Imagination!
Those two are your wings. Writing a novel is a rollercoaster experience, you feel the highs and lows of it. Be patient.
And judiciously use your imagination. Dare to think and get lost in the ocean of your thoughts. The hands will move themselves and your work will eventually attract the right kind of folks.

I am currently wrapping the second novel: The Nucle Saga II after a haul of five long years!
My next project will be the third book and a series of essays based parallelly in the same universe.

As a small kid, I often read a lot of books. Once I completed a novel by Charles Dicken called "A Tale of two cities" which deeply motivated me. I always credit Charles Dicken to paint a detailed emotional context in his works. But an idea stumbled in my head, "Why do I not write?". And since then, I actively participated my school's essays with loads of enthusiasm, and my teachers were exceptionally encouraging. The rest is history!

The Nucle Saga was collectively thought up prior to the year of publication of the first book (i.e 2012).
Since I was an aspiring engineering grad, I suffered a massive writer's block for a period of three years and had abandoned writing altogether.
In the last months of 2015 and the early months of 2016, I re-wrote my book second book along the lines of themes which I felt were instrumental in shaping my life. And what I considered important as a message that needs to be conveyed.
