How do you deal with writer’s block?

With that said, I can only imagine what that would feel like. I gather that it is a kind of loss of passion or creativity for the project in front of you. I have a historical fiction that I was passionately working on in the early 2000's that has been set aside because my inspiration, who was my auntie, died. It seems the book died with her. But I still have it with hopes to get back to it again someday. In the meantime, I wrote small short haiku (my fav) and tied to revive my passion to write in small ways. I also blabbed incoherently into my text note journal. I was also reporting for a newspaper at the time so there was never a time to quit completely. Maybe that is the cure... stubbornly keep on writing no matter what. (less)

I have broken down crying when they got hurt and laughed at their antics. That is why I have a discipline of ON writing time and OFF writing time. You can't live in the story in our real world or you would lose touch with reality! Next thing I like about it are intelligent people who read books and care about stories. They are the best people in the world!(less)

Tales of Eldelórne: Book Two Is Here!

“Karleigh Bon keeps coloring outside the lines and her stories are all the more magical for it. One must appreciate the layers of meaning and symbolism. On the surface, it may appear to be a tale of elves and dragons, but beneath lies a sinister and profound foundation of the gods, their power, their manipulation, […]
