If you're blocked on a certain part of your story, move to another part, move to another story, work on something in a different genre or format altogether. If nothing else, do some journaling or write a critique of someone else's work. Something that often works for me is participating in word sprints - for some reason I get competitive knowing that I need to have a solid number at the end of ten or twenty minutes. (less)

Waiting for ‘it’

There have been days in the not-too-recent past when words flowed through my head and sentences put themselves together like magic. I didn’t have to do anything, these lovely fragments of stories would just appear in my head without prompting. Usually I was in the car, and therefore couldn’t write them down, and by the time I reached my destination they were gone. But I love those little moments,
