Rod Ballard asked Devian Nikei:

Do you ever get frustrated while writing? And if you do, how do you handle the it and stay focused?

Devian Nikei Hi Rod!... Yes I do. Writing can be a very frustrating activity. I used to get so frustrated when I would have to turn in work to a publisher and they would be like... no... no... still no.... I know I sound redundant, but I combat frustration with journaling. In your journals, grammar spelling syntax... nothing matters in your journal. You can just say whatever you need to say and get if off your chest, then turn the page. Journaling is a place where you can fall in love with writing and fan the flame of your passion for it. You find a lot of emotional gems and jewels when you come back to it later on. Sometimes you can clean a few of those lines up and use them in your books or songs.... And also massages... Lots of massages. That's how I deal with writer's frustration! Thanks Rod...
