Born in an Iowa farm town, Fox has always been curious. Oftentimes too curious. He often wonders how he's come this far with all his digits in-tact.

Besides writing, Fox wanted to be a pro wrestler, going so far as to visit The Vault at its former location in Algona, Iowa to learn from head coach Travis Shillington. There Fox took his first and only bump, a traditional suplex from none other than Travis himself.

At one point, Fox also pursued video game development, working on a story-driven role-playing game that features a world and cast of characters that have grown alongside him since childhood. Some day, he may choose to bring that world and it's characters to life on the page so their story can be told.

Steven Fox I was once told by a writer I look up to that he didn't believe in writer's block. And from that day forward, my problems with writing were fixed.

I was once told by a writer I look up to that he didn't believe in writer's block. And from that day forward, my problems with writing were fixed.

Haha! The truth is, I don't think it's quite that cut-and-dry. For me, the most important think to make sure I continue writing is two-pronged: I must enjoy whatever it is I'm writing, and I must habitually write in the same spot, at the same time, every day.

If I'm not obsessively thinking about my characters and my story while I'm not writing, then I can usually guess I'm not interested in what I'm writing. And if I'm not interested, how am I going to get others interested? So, loving what I'm writing about, even when I'm not in love with my writing, is a huge component.

The other component is simply a number's game. If you habitually do something at the same time every day, it eventually becomes ingrained in you. Even if you fail to meet your writing goal (we all have constipated days, or hangover days, in my case), as long as you write something, it's not a wasted day, and you keep up the habit of writing same bat-time, same bat-channel.

In other words, write what you love, and do it often. Have fun, and you won't even have time to think about writer's block.(less)

Read. Write. Repeat.

Make sure you are in love with the topics you're writing about. It's a lot easier to pump out six pages a day when I love the subject. My word count would drop to nothing if I had to write about, say, the inner workings of a fridge. Unless my character is an electrician or fridge repair tech, I would be banging my head against my keyboard out of sheer boredom.

Lastly, finds what works for you. There is no one writing routine, no magic bullet that will help conquer the challenges you will face as a writer.(less)
