I hope my answer continues to evolve across my career as I pick up new strategies. The one I've been turning to the most lately is just forcing myself to write SOMETHING. If I can't write the story, I journal about why I can't write the story. If I feel bored by a scene, I try to unpack what made me get off-track. I try to figure out what would help me fall back in love with the story. And above all, I'm constantly combing out plot tangles!
Another strategy I'm experimenting with may sound a little silly, but it really works! I pick someone for my imaginary audience, whoever I'm thinking about at the time. It can be someone I know or even a celebrity I'll never meet, and I imagine they're in the room with me and genuinely interested in what I'm doing, and then I explain to them what I'm writing and talk through the problems I'm having. I've come up with some of my best and most succinct thoughts this way, filled in plot holes, and even soothed my own doubts about a section by walking through the backstory and why things turned out the way they did. This works best if you either live alone or don't mind being perceived as a bit odd, and fortunately I have both going for me! (Sometimes my cat starts meowing back at me.)(less)

I've always wanted to use the gorgeous backdrop of the old houses, old names, old culture, and old graveyards, (hat last one is highly significant) and a bunch of ideas came together and it started to take shape in October 2020. I've written about a chapter, but this is the type of story that demands that I stay many steps ahead of my characters, so writing per se is paused while I prepare. I don't like to outline, so I just describe the story to myself and make cast lists and such, and that's what I've been doing lately. (less)

A Better Way to Look at Therapy

We’re getting better at talking about therapy as a society. We are. We just haven’t updated our expectations of what it looks like.

I’d be happy to help with that.

Caveat: There are a bunch of different types of therapy, and the type you need might vary based on what’s going on. But this is what has held true across my experience and understanding.

First, I’d like to discuss three misguided notions o
