Goodreads asked Janice Jarrell:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Janice Jarrell As an author of Slash fiction for over twenty years and two gay romance novels, I've had plenty of experience with writers block.

I've often found that one of the best cures for writer's block is to READ gay romance novels or stories. That always gets the juices flowing. Also, simply DECIDING to write often breaks that log-jam. Doesn't matter how much you write. Doesn't even matter if you're adding to a work-in-progress. Just write.

I often write short stories featuring my gay romance characters. I find this helps me get into a rhythm that leads right back to working full-tilt on that novel once again, with more enthusiasm than ever!

Check out my blog to see a short story I wrote for my 'Love's Magic' characters, Colin and Joshua.

All the best....
Jan
