How do you deal with writer's block? Is there anything you recommend doing? Sometimes I just feel so stuck, and it’ll take me months to drag myself out of a slump or I’ll write something and hate it. What do you recommend?
Emily McIntire
Writing sprints always work well for me to push through writer's block. I set a timer for five minutes and then I write without stopping. I don't worry about whether the sentence structure makes sense, if there's usable storyline, if the grammar is there. I just write. Usually, I go back through and chop it up and draw something usable from it.
I also write at the same time every day no matter what because I've found that my muse gets trained to show up at that time if I consistently do it, and it makes writing flow easier. If I take long breaks, it's harder for me to break back into the creative space.

How many books do you plan on writing in the never after series? I'd love to have a long row of them, they covers are gorgeous!
