Robert Kilcrease once worked as a farmhand on a small farm for a woman named Buttercup, whom he loved dearly. After letting his love be known, he set sail for the new world to make his fortune, but was unfortunately attacked by the Dread Pirate Roberts, who supposedly killed Robert Kilcrease, much to the dismay of Buttercup. Unbeknownst to her, he actually served as an understudy to the Dread Pirate Roberts, took on the name of the Dread Pirate Roberts, and when Buttercup was taken hostage by some thieves in a conspiracy designed to implicate a warring nation in her murder plot, Robert Kilcrease came to her rescue, and defeated first one thief with his swordsmanship, then another thief he bested with strength, and finally another thief he o ...more

How do you deal with writer’s block?

All I do is sit down and write on average around 4,000 words on writing days, and I never run out of things to say, or things to write about.

The reason I think I'm like this is because I'm a voracious reader. I'm usually reading around five or six books at a time, and it sparks my creativity; it always gives me something to write about.

If I'm ever at a loss of what to write (which is infrequent), I read. If that doesn't work, I start writing anyway, and whatever comes out, comes out. Probably by 250 words, I think of something--but the important thing is to keep writing.

The biggest challenge for me was writing something new each time. When I wrote my first book, I poured almost everything I knew, every witty saying I'd ever thought, and almost everything I'd ever said that I'd liked into that book. Then I had to write the sequel, and everything had to be new. I'd heard a Louis C.K. interview about George Carlin that really stuck with me, about how every year you throw out everything you've written, and start over. You can't just rehash the same books over and over, and authors that do that aren't very creative. You have to try to branch out and do something new with each book. You have to write about things you haven't written about before. Otherwise you're just writing the same book, over and over; it is a disrespect to your readers, and creates stagnation in the art world. To get over this problem, I read about everything I could get my hands on, everything I could think of to read. Again, a quote stuck out to me by Faulkner, that you read whatever you can get your hands on, the good, the bad, the in-between; you just read. If you're an author that isn't an avaricious reader, I don't think there's a way you can be any good.

After reading, I had plenty to write about, plenty that I wanted to talk about. Reading is a continual sense of inspiration, to see what other authors are doing, what they're saying, how they craft their stories. Yet it's important to not just read fiction. Sometimes you have to read nonfiction, and authors from different cultures than your own. Otherwise you tend toward myopia.

In short, the best way to get over writer's block, in my experience, is to read. Try reading the most challenging things you can get your hands on. You should always be pushing yourself. But most importantly: read. (less)
