I remember the best advice I ever received, from my best friend and fellow author May Torres:
Just... tell the story.
Most of the time, when I encounter writer's block, it's not a lack of inspiration, or a lack of words. It's my fear of telling my 100% truth; fear of how it will be received, fear of whether or not the book will "do well".
That's not my responsibility. There's a story in me, and my only duty is to get it out, in all of its authentic glory.
