What do you do to pick yourself up in moments of doubt?

Mae Wood When I'm doubting what I'm doing, I take a breather. Sometimes that's a walk around the block. Sometimes that means not looking at my work for days at a time, so I can come back to it with fresh eyes.

When I have those moments, I remind myself I need to be kind to myself and give myself the time and space I need to find the words again.

I also turn to my amazing reader group on Facebook. Truly, without them encouraging me and believing in me, I don't think I would have written as many books. (Come join. You're very welcome -- search for Pig & Barley, a Mae Wood reader group.)
