The most important thing I will say is don’t force yourself to write. If you force yourself to write you’re making it a chore and this can often sour the creativity. My advice would be to do something different for a while, go out and see new places, do some people watching, take a notebook with you and jot down observations, and also think about your story. Always have your story in your mind, go over what’s happened so far and where you would like things to go. Eventually the writers block will dissipate and you’ll be wondering why you even stopped writing in the first place. (less)

For me, the best thing about being a writer is being able to tell a good story and to craft relatable characters. I spend a lot of time crafting worlds and lore, but none of that matters if the characters aren’t believable or relatable. It is the cha See Full Answer

Quotes by Dale M. Chatwin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Gods do not decide who goes to Heaven or who goes to Hell. That is for the Cosmic Forces to decide. You are as close to being like a God than you ever will be. Gods are the creators and if they are proud of their work they will remain as silent watchers. This isn’t like the ancient times when Gods would interfere in the affairs of man, or whatever creatures they created. They became arrogant and selfish in their deeds, only concerned with their own private agendas and using their creations as tools of blackmail and spite. It got so they were completely shaping the destinies of worlds just to seduce a sibling into practicing explicit acts of intercourse. They were incestuous monstrosities who were given far too many liberties, and they abused the power bestowed upon them. Eventually the Cosmic Forces intervened and limited the powers of the Gods. These days Gods are not born and they do not perform sex. The few that are left are merely prisoners of the Cosmic Forces, free to roam across the Multiverse and create, but unable to indulge in their own egotistical fantasies. They have become tortured souls, much like their creations.”
Dale M. Chatwin, Underneath the Draconian Sky
