Writer's block: The key is to find something to write about, anything, and a reason to write. So ask a question, remove something, introduce something new into the plot. For me, it's because I need to change my mindset/plot point. Take some thinking time on your story. #amwriting #author #writing

Writing is a bit like being dropped off somewhere lost and searching for the light, you keep gauging the light, writing until you find it. And that becomes the story. Then you turn on the light and write about what you can now see. That becomes the next story. - Wrtr #amwriting... #author #writing

Writing: Do the hero and other characters have an internal desire besides the plot in your story? If not, you should add one for them. It rounds out the characters and the story to be read. - Wrtr #amwriting #author #writing ~ And sometimes can be the best part of the story.
