K.C. Mitchell
Sometimes I just sit and brainstorm all that I want to get out of my head. Other times, I leave the writer's desk behind and get out of my routine.. enjoy a walk outside or do something that stirs my creative juices. I pretty much am so "full" of ideas that I don't have blocks so much as just moments of stagnation of which ideas to place where within the work I'm currently writing.
Right now, I'm writing my 3rd book in The Tapestry Series. While I've had the plot in my thoughts for a few years, I have not been able to actually sit and begin it until recently. I find that I'm having to revisit my setting, characters, etc from The Tapestry of A. Taylor and The Weaving of A Warrior to get back in the mindset. Once I get started though, it's hard to stop.
I've found that motivation (for anything) never comes until some action begins. So even if what I write while unmotivated is unusable later, it helps me to get in the grove to write anyway.
Hope this helps!
