In brief, writer's block occurs because our fight or flight response is being triggered in some way. Most of the time for me, if I have trouble writing it is because there are tough questions about the story I haven't committed to answering yet. I hate the idea of not being efficient and having to go back and change things I already wrote (perfectionism), so I take too long making decisions or put off making them in order to avoid a mistake. The solution is to embrace the amazing, messy process that is writing a book and assume I will have to rewrite no matter what. (less)

If you want to write in order to work through something vs. writing as "art" and a means of expression vs. as a career vs. "to get famous" (you won't) should color your approach to setting goals, interpreting feedback, and how much energy outside of the creative process itself you need to commit. Know thyself, or at least your endgame, from the start. (less)

A Fey Tale: a fantasy cosy mystery by Karen J Carlisle

Greetings fairy tale fans! Things have been pretty busy over here in the Darqueling-verse, but I’m never too busy to help out a friend with her book launch Karen is joining me today to talk about her new release. Take it away Karen!

I love twisting history, mixing fantasy with reality. I often do this with steampunk, but occasionally I delve more into fantasy. The Aunt Enid Mysteries are cosy
