Short Answer: I don't, I refuse to let it happen.

Long Answer: From personal experience, when I get stuck with what others call "writer's block" it tends to be because I haven't thought about that part of a story enough. When I was younger I'd let this stop me, but at some point I realized that if I wanted writing to be my job then accepting writer's block wasn't an excuse not to write.

In every case discipline is the real way through. Write every day. Set a goal, be it a time or a word count or whatever works best for you. Just write every day and meet the goal. It gets easier the more you do it.

And when you run into a block anyway? Take a short break. Walk and think. Or write "What if..." then start proposing a bunch of possible actions. Or write a scene where your characters get annoyed with your inability to tell their story and then take some action on their own. Or sit down to create an outline of the part you're stuck on. Or... or... or...

I've seen endless suggestions on how to get past a "Writer's Block." Pick one and try it. If it doesn't work, pick another. Don't get discouraged. Don't accept that you just can't do it. Writing is hard work, it's best if you accept that early on.(less)

Being able to tell stories. Full stop.

Ever since I was young I loved to come up with different stories, often playing off of stories I already knew from other sources. During middle school I would often spend my entire lunch simply imagining situations with characters from this movie or that book, day dreaming how events would play out.

When I started writing it was initially as a way to express those stories, and of course as I got older I wanted to tell stories of my own creation with my own characters. In some ways it isn't a matter of wanting to write, but rather that not writing seems impossible.(less)

Long, Long, Long Overdue Update

This place isn’t dead. On the contrary, I have often thought over the past couple years that I have let it go too long without putting anything here. The same goes for the newsletter, but that is another matter entirely. Since it has been nearly two whole years, there is a lot of ground to cover. I’m going to keep this brief for now though.

Where Have I Been?
