What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Her husband was also an orphan and when they married he left the family after they had kids—my great grandma never spoke I’ll of him but also never allowed questions. When she died we found a box of letters she and my great grandad had written to each other over all the years they were apart. Love letters. It was very bizarre. Also very sweet. And something the kids were entirely conflicted about.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Staring at screens, watching favorite story tellers and comedians.

I often think, "so this is it--the end of my writing ability is murdered by this single scene in this one stupid book that might not be worth publishing once it's finished" (I can be dramatic)

Sometimes I'll start a new project, which is also really frustrating because it might kill the blocked story by having more momentum than that one, or it might breathe the life I'm searching for into the blocked story.

I guess I do whatever I can--any option I can come up with, to deal with it often forgetting I'm struggling with writers block until I'm confronted with it again.
