how do you deal with writers block? also what got you into writing for a living?
Katie McGarry
Hi Maryna,
For me, writer's block means I took a wrong turn in the story and yet I'm trying to push forward. I usually step away from the manuscript, take a walk, then reread what I had written to pin point where I took the wrong turn.
By nature, I'm a storyteller. A few years back, I finally found the courage to write down my stories. After that, I was curious if anyone else would like my stories so I pursued publication. It was a long road, full of rejection, but finally Harlequin Teen picked up Pushing the Limits.
Thank you for the question!
