Hi there my friend and I have started reading your house of night series and I'm already halfway through the series in less than a month. I'm an aspiring writer and I would like to know how you get past writer's block?

Hi Haeley,
I answer that question in my advice for aspiring authors post on my blog. Here's that particular answer. You can find more advice if you follow the link to the post: https://www.pccastauthor.com/blog/advice. Best of luck to you.
3. What do I do to overcome writer’s block? I don’t believe in it! Again, writing is a job. When I was teaching there were many days I didn’t particularly feel like showing up at school and teaching 100+ teenagers, but it was my job and I did it (and did it well) whether I felt like it that day or not. That’s what writing is, too. Some days it’s a pleasure to be an author. Some days it’s hard as hell. Actually, most days it’s hard as hell. But I write whether it’s a breeze or whether it’s sloughing through mud, and so will you if you’re a real author.
