Five Ways I Overcome Writer’s Block
One of the most popular questions I get asked is how I overcome writer’s block. I don’t know why I’m asked it, because I seldom suffer from it. So far in my life, I haven’t been able to write books as fast as I think of them.
So I don’t always suffer from it, but when I do…
1. I take a shower. A hot shower relaxes me, and I suppose this is why so many new 
ideas are born there. I’m not exaggerating. I get tons of ideas for my stories while I’m taking a shower.
2. I lie down and ALMOST fall asleep, but not quite. Being in that twilight zone between wakefulness and sleep seems to 
generate creative thought. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve started to go to sleep and then have had to jump out of bed to write down an idea. So, if I get writer’s block during the day, I go lie down, like I’m going to take a nap. Works every time (unless I fall asleep, lol).
3. I go for a walk. Getting the blood flowing back up to my brain might be the reason why 
so many ideas come to me as I’m walking. Maybe it’s the fresh air.
4. I research online. I especially find it helpful when I research the setting I plan to use in the story. So many ideas come from l
earning more about a specific place. Or sometimes I research the ancient myths, and BOOM!
5. I start writing. When I can’t think of what the next scene should be, I just 
dump my character into the middle of some action and go with it and am often taken to some really unexpected and exciting places.
