Right now, I'm working on the release for Tortured (Tortured Soul #1) and writing Unraveled (Tortured Soul #2) in my spare time.

The BEST thing? Oh, um....
Everything. Except editing. I loathe the editing process. I do it, of course, but I don't like it, not even a little.

Writer's block is a very tricky thing, indeed! And quite honestly, I can suffer from blocks for weeks, sometimes even months.
What helps me the most is to allow myself a day, or even just a few hours, to concentrate on something else. I paint, pick up a book and read, spend time playing with the kids, do something that doesn't involve writing.
After I've used my allotted time, I go back to writing. I write, even when I don't know what to say. I just put down whatever comes out. Sometimes, it's nothing more than a string of dialogue. Other times, it's just absolute garbage. But no matter what it is, I get through it and get back to writing!
Mission accomplished. =)
