edit data

Rachel Snider comes from a family of writers and storytellers. While pursuing a career in commercial interior design, Rachel discovered she had a love for writing.

Her 6th novel, The Improbable Existence of Life After Divorce, is a wryly charming tale of one man’s struggle to undo his worst mistake. Rife with quirky comedy and cringy contrivances, TIE of LAD will keep you abso-bloody-lutely laughing until the curtainfall.

Her first four novels (collectively The River Series) are a historical Christian fiction quadrilogy set in Fort Smith, Arkansas in the early 1900s.

Her 5th book, Rupert of Calloway: The Good King, a medieval tale for children, was written under her penname Rachel Redins and can be found on her other website RachelRedins.com ...more

How do you deal with writer’s block?

But it's like a sport—you practice and get better. As I've learned how to write better, I've learned better ways to deal with writer's block, too. For one, I listen to where God is guiding me. I know that'll sound weird to some people, and that's ok, but it works wonders for me. I can feel inside myself when I'm writing something and it's just not coming. It's like making a glass of lemonade by squeezing one lemon at a time. Then, when I say, "Ok, God. What is it You want me to say?" Then, eventually, I'll hear it somehow (through music, taking a walk, just through living life) and all the sudden the ideas are flowing and it's like pouring lemonade from a pitcher. I always know that when I'm squeezing one lemon at a time, I need to stop for a while. It can be as quick as a trip to the restroom and, while I'm washing my hands, it'll all become clear. Or it might be taking a walk outside. Or listening to music while I'm driving in my car. Or listening to a podcast or even reading the Bible. (Side note- I'm kind of funny about what I read while I'm writing. When I'm writing fiction, I tend to stay far away from reading other fiction, aside from what I read to my kiddos at bedtime. I just don't want my head caught up in too many fictional worlds.) So, for me, writer's block is all about listening to where God's taking my story. He's a way better writer than me and I'm eager to write His story because I look at history and I see how complex and creative it is and I know God's got this. He's gonna give me the words to write if I just listen.(less)
