How do you deal with writer’s block?

It took nearly twenty years to write The Night Chasers, though the vast majority of it was written in the last two years. I do believe that, for many writers, a writer's block is as real as a brick wall, and there isn't a lot you can do about it, at least in some cases.

I "wrote" a lot of notes for TNC in a notebook, jotting down ideas, scenes, character notes, etc. And if I couldn't make progress on the typed manuscript because I was "stuck" (one kind of writer's block), I'd break out the notebook and do some plotting and review my notes to look for inspiration.

If I was feeling depressed and thus utterly unmotivated, there was nothing but letting it pass. Sometimes I could syphon some of that despair for the darker points in the book but usually not.

The Aftermath of Writing

The Night Chasers was done. Then it wasn't. I spent an agonizing 10 months working on yet another "final" edition (when I wasn't procrastinating, which was a lot) that's finally out for proofreading... so I'm sort of at a point that I can stop and just breathe, at last.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel at this point. It's not euphoria. Nor is it pride. And it's definitely not relief. When I t Read more of this blog post »
