How do you deal with writer’s block?

I also always wanted to write a story about the villain, either how they view the heroes or how they become their “villainous” selves. The Thief of Virtue was actually an accidental book. While working a slow register in a retail store, I was really bored. To pass the time, I’d bring my journal and jot down random dialogues, pieces of stories, and sketches of characters. Somehow, the characters came to life, and one scene that actually occurs in the middle of the book started the entire story. After handwriting five chapters, I took an undergraduate honors course that required me to start a semester long project under the direction of a mentor in the chosen field. Needless to say, writing a novel was my project, and the story just grew from there. (less)

You don’t have to wait around and think, “When I grow up, I’m going to be an author,” or “When I finally have that degree, I can start writing.” There is nothing holding you back from being an author. You don’t need a certification or a special degree to express yourself. You don’t have to clock in and out, or go to a special office to do it. You can write in your pajamas in the middle of a supermarket at one o’ clock in the morning if you want. Writing is freedom in reality and a doorway to endless possibilities in our minds. (less)
