How do you deal with writer’s block?

I'm easily dissuaded from writing, especially after having my work systematically destroyed by reviewers. Because of this, I go through periods of stasis where I just can't write. Which would probably be alright if I were a successful, eccentric writer who is afforded such levity. Honestly, my process goes something like this: I find a focal point, usually a particular character, and I think them to death in a very jigsaw puzzlish way. I go over and over every insignificant and random detail in my head, then form the individual pieces into something resembling an idea. And when I've talked myself back into writing, I sit down with my thoughts and let them lead me. Not very efficient and not in line with my other advice (just lost all credibility, I did) but it's just how I function.
If you're truly desperate to overcome writer's block, I suggest opening a document at your computer, closing your eyes, and typing like a nut. Don't look at it, don't stop to correct typos, and don't think about it. The goal is to free your mind of all the clutter that's stopping your creativity. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If it does nothing for your idea pool, at least know nothing you could ever write will be as terrible as what you've just written. Unless you're really, really drunk. Or you know, you do the exercise again. (less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

For me, writing is both cathartic and therapeutic-it helps me work through my issues from a safe, empowering place. I feel the very best part of being a writer, however, is the wish fulfillment aspect. In writing, there is so much freedom to explore, to create, to forge connections and breathe life into your wants and dreams. With words, I can make real all I ever wanted for, and that in itself is a special sort of magic.(less)

DEAR WINNERS OF THE PAPER HEARTS GIVEAWAY

To the winners of the PAPER HEARTS giveaway,

I came to the horrific realization today that I may have sent out the wrong batch of copies, the non-autographed ones! I apologize profusely for my immense stupidity, if this is the case. It was never my intent to screw book winners out of an autograph. I want to make this right, regardless, and have contacted the Goodreads team to see what needs to be d Read more of this blog post »
