How do you deal with writer’s block?

There's the 'staring at a blank page where your novel should be' block, where you want to write a novel but have no ideas. I've never had that, but I read a great approach by Iain McLean, where he gathers articles from newspapers and sticks them in a folder, and when he wants to create a story, he pulls them out and says 'what if this was linked to this and this?' and he evolves a plot from there.
Personally, I have some idea of the broad structure, but after the initial event, it's the characters who drive what happens in order to get there. My writer's block comes when I just can't get in the head of the character.
I had a terrible time with Deverell in MUT, as I just couldn't 'get' him. How could I rationalise his actions when I couldn't understand them myself? How could I provide 'self-talk' when I had no idea what was going on in his head. Probably sounds nutty, when he was my creation ... or conception. But to allow him to be real, he could not be constrained by my personality or understanding. Only when I really began to dig into what he had been through (a kind of PTSD) and his blind guilt, did I begin to grasp why he might act in a certain way and make his (bad) choices. That allowed me to tune into his inner voice and logic and (finally!!) move forward with the novel. Similarly with the villain, his behaviour seemed irrationally wicked, until something in the news gave me a notion why he might be quite so bent on Deverell's destruction. (less)

Thank you so much for reaching out, and I'm sorry that I didn't see your note sooner. I'm so glad that you liked the books. That means so much to me as a writer. Please forgive my writing hiatus since 2020. Life, work and the death and illness of loved ones made writing novels feel impossible. I know the past few years have seen dark times for many, and I can truly empathise with that. But a good friend recently spurred me to take up my pen again, which is how I came to see your message!
It takes me at least 4mths non-stop to research and write a novel, and then a further 3mths to edit. So, I'm afraid it might be a while before I publish anything ... but I have at least 4 novels in mind, within the current series. I will take your lovely note as an extra spur to get cracking.
Thank you again for the inspiration!
Kate x

The Charity Case

A quick note to Alice and those kindly following me to say that I hope to release the next novel in this series on November 1st.

Tilted The Charity Case, it is the story of how Harry finds his HEA, and introduces another two characters to the family.

For those who have stayed with the series, I admire your long-distance/endurance stamina!

It wasn't easy to write while working, so I've finally retire Read more of this blog post »
