And I'm sure I'd find them there too. As AA Milne so beautifully wrote: '...in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his bear will always be playing'.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Any writer worth their salt deletes much of what they've written and suffers regular crises of confidence fearing they'll never complete a novel anyone wants to read.

My philosophy is to keep the faith, keep writing, and know that everything can and will be edited and improved somewhere down the line. But to edit, first you must write - so write!

Every book that's ever been written started with a blank screen or page. Getting words down, pretty much any words, moves you forward. And if you've created strong characters that you believe in, the force of their personalities can take on a life of their own and bring an energy and momentum that takes you so far out of writers' block, you get writer's rush!

Like the star of Reality Rehab, buxom soap legend Gloria Grayson, I'm a great believer in the power of cake. Cake can be a the perfect cure for writer's block. Get the digestive juices flowing, and the creative juices will follow. Well that's my excuse for taking five cake breaks a day, and I'm sticking to it.(less)
