Edwin Hill
Writer's block can be a challenge! I have a series of activities that I can use when I am having trouble moving forward. I will outline, write character sketches, or free write. I also set manageable goals - sometimes just a hundred words can feel like climbing a mountain, but when it's done, it's done.
Most importantly, I give myself permission to write badly, because anything can be fixed. Read Anne Lamott's "Shitty First Drafts" for the best advice on writing bad prose!
