How do you deal with writer’s block?

I tend to just move onto another section, or another chapter - while I mull things over. Sleeping on it helps aswell !!

Worst thing you can do, in my opinion, is get stressed about it !! Your brain is far less helpful when you're stressed and bursting with rage!!

Maybe do some exercise. Go for a walk. Nice cup of tea!! RELAX :D

Detective Frank Penguin

I came up with an idea for a penguin detective, when i was eight years old !! Nearly thirty years later i've finally brought him to life!! It was the image of this penguin character that gave me the idea for the book. I wanted to write a novel and it Read more of this blog post »
