Writer's block...whaaaa? Writing is my job, so I guess I don't have time to get blocked. I'm like a NY message carrier...if the streets are jammed, I'll detour on the sidewalks and if those are jammed, I'll ride over the tops of the taxis.
But, if you mean stuck in a story point? That happens for brief periods sometimes. I do one of two things now. Either I try to write through it, around it, or beside it (by adding scenes, asking the character what the problem is, or just grinding through until the ice breaks) OR I chillax. Hahahaha. I take a shower, walk the pooches, scrub a floor. Something manual for my body to do while my brain ruminates. It usually gives up the goods the second I threaten myself with the mop and a set of rubber gloves anyway. Hope that helps!

Potential Series Spoiler! I need more Garrett and Nalena. I need it. I finished the entire series in a week, and I have to say, I need more! *Spoiler* Is there any chance you will write another book that follows them into the new world they have chosen? Please say yes!
