Hi! I'd love to read your books but I wasn't able so far, because they are not sold in my country. I just wanted to ask, how do you handle writer's block? From an aspiring writer who suffers a serious case of blocking...

Hi Cintia,
I'm so sorry it took me so long to answer. I just realized today I had questions here.
Writer's Block - ack! It's awful, isn't it.
Whenever I've had it, it's usually because the story took a wrong turn and I don't get over it until I find where's the story is wrong and correct it. Sometimes it's that I've forced a character to act out of their character, or I've written something I don't truly believe.
This is not fun, but when I hit true writers block, I go back and rewrite and rewrite what I've written previously until I find a new path for the book to go.
Good luck on your writing!
