I teach a writing workshop that has an entire class devoted to this subject. There are many tools and "tricks" but the most important thing to recognize is that writers block is a fear of not writing perfectly. Writers need to give themselves permission to play on the page, to make mistakes, to write a terrible scene. Then they go back and fix. And rewrite. Writing is rewriting. This is a game of mistakes. Trying to get it perfect the first time will only get you blocked.

No question? I just wanted you to know I came across Murder in an Irish Village by chance and it was a breath of fresh air. I was a third of the way in and looked for the next one. I knew I wanted to start it when I finished the first. I loved all the characters, so much so I wish they were my neighbors. (so cheeky) Caroline Lennon made the characters and story come to life. Off to listen to #2.
