Aundrea asked P.C. Cast:

Do you ever get a writer's block? If you do, how do you overcome it?

P.C. Cast Here's my answer to that question cut and pasted from my blog post on advice for aspiring authors:
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.
