Not sure if I believe in writer's block. For me, I just start writing about anything to warm up and before too long I have the beginnings of a story.

I like the opportunity to be quiet with my thoughts and watch as words turn into sentences and then paragraphs and pages. It is a wonderful feeling to create stories and make people laugh.

Write daily. Write in the carpool lane. Write in the bathroom. Write every chance you get. Keep a notebook with you and track the funny and unusual things that happen each day. You never know when it will be perfect material for a future story. Join a writer's group.

I work on my blog, http://www.staceygustafson.com, each day. It's a great release and I enjoy the chance to share my feelings with readers. I am working on a long term project too, a funny murder mystery. Think Janet Evanovich meet Dr. Frasier Crane.

The every day stuff that frustrates most people, like the self-check out lines at the grocery story or Starbucks drive through lanes, inspires me to write. I consider a bad situation to be the perfect opportunity to create a story.

My family of four provides the inspiration for most of my stories. Also, I have a ragtag bunch of crazy relatives, like my mom and mother-in-law that never cease to surprise me with their antics. Add one cross-eyed dog to the mix, and let's just say that I never run out of content.
