Sometimes I write and think it's good but come back two weeks later and realize it was junk. As for the block, sometimes I will write myself into the block and that's when I know I have to start over. I get myself into my characters' head(s) and ask what are they thinking? Or better yet, how can I make their lives worse? Sometimes better. Writing to me is the way out of writer's block. I may take time off and hike or something for inspiration and that sometimes works. Ultimately, it's sitting in front of the keyboard and pounding those keys. (less)

I worked for a lot of bosses. Some good, some bad. With writing, I'm the only one who can micro-manage what I do. I decide what hours I write. I don't have to fill in weekly reports or call sheets. And I can live in a world of fiction which, let's be honest, is a boatload better than the reality of today. LOL (less)
