How do you deal with writer’s block?

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

C.R.J. Smith You can do whatever you want. No matter what is going on in your life, the stresses and obligations, when you sit down to write, there are no rules.
Yo…moreYou can do whatever you want. No matter what is going on in your life, the stresses and obligations, when you sit down to write, there are no rules.
You can go to places that are unique to you, whole worlds of your own creation. It could be a fantastical, magical world or a version of your home town. It doesn't matter, what happens there is up to you.
Your characters can be extensions of you and you can speak to the reader through them or they might be so different from you that you become somebody else as you write them.
They can perform good, heroic acts that you would never be able to or they can be so evil and horrific that you may wonder what dark recess of your mind they crawled from.
Writing is fun, frustrating, therapeutic and maddening. But when you finish a piece of work and send it out into the world, there's no better feeling.
