I don't believe in writer's block, and I think writers ought to banish that term! In my instructional title, YOU'VE GOT A BOOK IN YOU, I talk about writers feeling 'dry,' but never 'blocked.' There's always a way to get through a dry spell. For me, that's just keeping going. Writing something new, even writing a snatch of something all over again. You'll find the flow if you just keep writing, no matter how bad your results might seem at the time.

Hi! I just started reading your book "You've Got a Book in You..." and I'm really enjoying it. I found myself today asking "What if..." followed by "Yes, and.." on many of my unwritten story ideas stashed away in my Google Drive. At what point do you start writing the actual story after asking "What if"? I've written about a half page on a few of my stories asking more and more questions. Thanks!
