Do you have questions for me about my writing, my books, my thoughts on life? Send them through the Contact form and I’ll answer them here.
Has writer’s block ever affected you? If so, to what degree and how did you cope?
I really don’t think so. Every now and then I simply can’t get the scene or setting to gel, but it isn’t really writer’s block, it’s just that I’m sick of it for the moment and want a diversion. So, I simply play at something else and come back to it whenever I feel like it. I don’t write for a living so I can take my time, although I try not to be away from it too long or I will forget where it was going.
What is your writing schedule like and what do you suggest writers consider to develop a routine that is perfectly tailored to them, since “one size fits all” doesn’t apply to such things?
I have been so busy lately with my educational consulting job that I haven’t had a real schedule, but now that summer is here, I will get back on my schedule of continuing to write my third book. That means I’ll write about 5 hours each day until it is finished. Usually I take off a couple of days a week or at least not work as long on a couple of days. Because it is not my “job” it is hard to convince people that I don’t want to be interrupted so that is going to always happen. No matter what, I stop at 5:00 for Happy Hour. I have my priorities!!!
