How do you deal with writer’s block?

My philosophy is that when I'm writing a first draft, I just write whatever I need to get the scene done, and I don't let myself freeze up about it, because it's just a first draft, it doesn't matter if it sucks. On the second draft, I usually find that it was better than I thought when I wrote it. And if it's not, the bad parts jump out at me right away and are easy to fix. I do a LOT of drafts, so it never really makes sense to me to get stuck on any one of them -- just write it or edit it or leave it and move on. If you miss something, you can always get it in the next pass.(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

I read interviews with writers who hate the writing process, but just love having written, and I know I could never do this job if that was how I felt about it. I find it physically and mentally pleasurable to put together a turn of phrase that perfectly expresses what I want it to say. I feel incredibly lucky that I've been able to make a living doing the thing that I enjoy doing more than anything in the world.(less)
