Jennifer A. Nielsen
Hi Georgia - Thanks for asking! There may be lots of reasons for writers block, but often, it's because your main character doesn't have enough problems. So ask yourself, "What is the worst thing I could do to my character right now?" Sometimes that helps.
Other times, writers block is because the character wants to do one thing and you want to do another. Learn to listen to your characters and they should show you how to resolve the problem. Good luck!
