How do you deal with writer’s block?

It took me 5 years to write and publish Penny the Brave... it didn't have to take that long.

Make sure you have a clean writing space without distraction. Turn on some music if you must, but leave the internet alone (unless you're needing to do research). If I play music or playlists from the internet, I sometimes become greatly distracted just by trying to find a new song, so be wary.

Setting a word goal for yourself really helps (i.e. 5,000 words a week, 500 words a day, 10,000 words a month). Set it, and then tell a few friends that you did so. It helped me to be held accountable by others - though, with practice, I have had to rely less and less on others.

I've never liked writer's block. We go way back. I feel like it's a bit different for each person, too.(less)

That might make me crazy, but we writers know our characters like friends and family, and we know each stone and patch of grass on the path to the top of the fictional mountain you climbed on page 99.

The next best thing about being a writer is hearing that someone was really touched by your story. Without readers, our books would be pretty lonely, and to hear that someone was really captured by something I wrote is a such a phenomenal feeling!(less)
