I get up and walk away. Literally, going for a walk helps clear clogged membranes, which for me are what can cause writer's block. That and fear. Talking out the fear with a friend, journaling about it, and returning to the writing later. You've got to step away when blocks happen.

I sit down and I do the work. There is nothing glorious or sexy about it. Once I commit 30 minutes or an hour of my day to writing and I sit down with a blank piece of paper, then the inspiration comes.

I'd love to visit Middle-Earth in The Lord of the Rings series. Honestly anywhere in New Zealand where the movies were filmed. It's the closest we'll come in reality, right?
If I could visit the Shire I would probably do nothing. I'd want to just sit around, make friends, and enjoy nature.
