I've never experienced writer's block. Perhaps this is because I do not have a regular schedule for writing. I find pockets of time during my work day to write. It's irregular. I think that allows for the ideas to be percolating all along, ready to be birthed when I actually open up MS Word. I don;'t recommend this approach. I think it's better to have a regular schedule. This is just my reality through this time.(less)

It's one of the primal ways of feeling omnipotent. More directly, I love writing for children and teens. It connects me with them and my own fond memories of childhood.(less)
