It used to be that I would simply force myself to keep writing. If I had to discard the section later, that's what I did. However, over the years I discovered that if I had an attack of writer's block, it was always because I was trying to force the characters to do something contrary to ...well, their character. Or else I was trying to write a situation that I could not quite believe in--something that was unlikely in some way, or didn't grow naturally out of the action. When that happens, I stop and think about what the characters would actually do or say, rather than what I think they should do. It seems to work for me.

Kathleen, I've started a webpage where I post romance book covers along with a gauge indicating the book's "spice" level. Currently, about half the books are clean or "clean-ish" and I'd like to include more historical romance. Would you be interested in having your books included? I just need each title and your recommended rating. You can check out the rating system at: http://jojounplugged.com/book_heat/ Jamie Orr
