If you're suffering from writer's block, know that it goes away. Don't compare yourself to others. Don't fight it greet it and maybe have a conversation with it or write it a letter. Good luck. You've got this.
Tricia Simpson One day I was writing in the library, and I stopped for a potty break. I walked into the empty bathroom, and one of the toilets flushed. I have to admit it freaked me out a bit. I could see under the three stalls, and no one was there. Before I made it to the first stall, it flushed again. I used the bathroom quickly. The toilet continued to flush but didn't seem to happen at regular intervals. I thought about how it could be turned into a story. This is what I thought of, a woman goes into the bathroom where a ghost is waiting. It follows her out and starts haunting her. She has to solve the mystery of their death before it will leave her alone. Future book? Maybe.
