Mike Thayer is a proud father of three, lucky husband of one, passionate author, budding podcaster, lifelong gamer, viral blogger, degreed engineer, decent impressionist, inept hunter, erstwhile jock, and nerd.

He has cast a ring on the slopes of Mt. Doom, eaten a feast at the Green Dragon Inn, cemented Excalibur in a sandstone block, tasted butter beer at Diagon Alley, built a secret door to his storage room, and written a few fantasy books. What else is left, really?

The weird thing is that I actually TRY to do this. I try to paint my characters into impossible situations. That way, when I eventually come up with the solution, hopefully it'll seem super clever to the reader.

Other times I get writer's block is when something just feels off with the story. It feels boring, disjointed, unsatisfying. If that happens, I usually go back to the 7-point plot structure and see if I'm hitting my beats. I'm usually not and re-aligning myself to the plot structure always helps. Easier said than done, though. (less)
