It is essential to have a quiet place without interruptions. Then I try to empty my mind and sit with a pen in my hand until something comes to me, even if it is not quite what I envisioned, and I start writing. I persevere until this happens, sometimes up to an hour, but it breaks the block and restores the creative flow. This method usually works for me.

Anne Rouen:
I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
