Hi Heather,
I would say, getting over a rocky plot line that wasn't flowing and finding the nerve to scrap a third of the final novel in my Hard to Feel series. I have only just started writing it again after being stuck in the black hole of 'Writer's Block' for three months!
Thanks for the question,

Take a break; read instead for a while and then come back to it.

Telling a story and having it touch your reader emotionally. There's nothing like it.

Read...read lots and then read even more. I can't stress the importance of enjoying books first. Then write...every day, even if it's only a few lines. Take advice and put into practice good advice. There are a huge number of people out there who will be willing to offer help and advice. Take it willingly and be grateful.
Enjoy the ride.
Enjoy the ride.

The sequel to Hard to Feel Whole, it's called Hard to Feel Free and will hopefully be ready for publication in April.

I immerse myself in lots of books and music and hope my characters speak to me.
