Long ago, when I was working on my first book, _On The Edge of The Spotlight..._ I asked my father that question. He said there was nothing for it but to put the paper in the typewriter (yes!) and start typing. It's not as easy as it sounds, but it's good advice. Sometimes, I'll think of prompts that are related to, but not exactly on point with what I'm working on. Starting obliquely primes the pump and often I find my way back to the topic at hand. In other words, just start writing on anything. "Keep the hand moving." Prove to yourself that you're not really stuck after all.(less)

Read good literature from which you'll absorb structure, spelling, vocabulary. Notice how sentences and characters and all the elements work and work together.
Write. A lot. Write different kinds of things--journals, poems, country songs, romances, haiku, fiction and non fiction. There's something to learn from each of them. You don't have to show them to anyone. It may be better not to. It's like doing scales on the piano.
Edit. I don't know how people edit without a writers' group. You can't count on a publisher to edit; you must submit a finished piece. Make it the best you can, then take it to your group to help make it even better.(less)

Kathy’s Quotes

“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful
before i’ve called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with
is all you have to be proud of
when you have broken mountains with your wit
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient, or you are extraordinary
not because i don’t think you’re beautiful
but because i need you to know
you are more than that”

“I didn't leave because
I stopped loving you,
I left because the longer
I stayed the less I loved myself.”

“Every time you
tell your daughter
you yell at her
out of love
you teach her to confuse
anger with kindness
which seems like a good idea
till she grows up to
trust men who hurt her
cause they look so much
like you.”
― Rupi Kaur
