Hi Michelle! Writing is hard work. What's the first thing you do (or plan) once the book is finished and you push send?
Michelle Willingham
Usually I need to unwind after sending it off. Sometimes that means cleaning the house while listening to music (it's scary what a "deadline" house looks like because you're so immersed in the book). Or I'll walk the dog, or watch mindless TV that I've been taping (Project Runway, American Idol). I also love Downton Abbey and I can't wait for Outlander and Game of Thrones to continue. Then the next day I start brainstorming a new book. It's hard to have a complete rest because usually multiple books are contracted and you have to begin the next one after you finish the first.

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?
