Hi! I'd love to read your "Midnight Pearls" but I wasn't able so far, because it is not sold in my country, or translated into my language. I just wanted to ask, how do you handle writer's block? From an aspiring writer who suffers a serious case of blocking...

I'm sorry to hear that. What country are you in? Oftentimes you can order from an Amazon store in a different country. (For example, even though I live in the US I have ordered many thinks from the UK and Canadian versions of Amazon).
Writer's block happens to everyone. The best things I've found for overcoming it are either:
1. Doing something completely different for an hour and then coming back to the story (have a meal, get some exercise, play with a pet, etc.). Then you come back to the story refreshed and in a different frame of my mind. OR
2. Start work on a different story. I'm always writing 3 or 4 books at a time (this is also how I read, by the way). If I'm stuck on one book I switch over for a few hours or even a couple of days then switch back.
