How do you deal with writer’s block?

Serious writer's block is about the inability to type, unable to work - the notion makes you feel sick, and if you open MS Word or Scrivener or whatever program you use, you find yourself in the midst of a panic attack. Not many writers experience it to that degree.

What most people call writer's block is actually procrastination, which is solved by simple personal discipline (or a program that turns off your internet access for hours at a time); that, or the author has written themselves into a corner plot-wise and cannot get out. They've run out of ideas. Maybe the characters are acting out of character to serve the plot. The answer to this depends on the root of the problem. Personally, I either go to the gym or watch a movie in the same genre in which I am writing. It shakes loose those little gems in the back of my head and often means I'm typing furiously on Evernote through the movie or I have to turn it off and get back to work.(less)

The imagination flies all around until the story coalesces and then the structure has to take over, melding the two into a product I can be proud of, and readers can enjoy. (less)

New Cover for Never the Sinner

Following extensive feedback, I have had Never the Sinner’s cover redesigned to it looks better in small boxes on the web. While I liked the old one a lot in print, it really just wasn’t showing up very well online, which may have affected sales. Good lesson to learn. Hope people like the new one.
