That is, if there's nothing creatively moving with one writing project, I switch to another. There's the second important part: I always have an array of writing projects underway--fiction, non-fiction (I contribute freelance often to several publications, plus I write academic papers), poetry, short stories. I don't think there's any way to power through a "block"--I just shift to another writing project and return to the original when it feels right.(less)

Beyond that, there's the shared aspect, same as I feel with my cartoon work--if a reader lives your story, feels the characters, embraces the work, that's an enduring reward.(less)
