I am a scientist, a dog parent, and part-time author of SciFi Romance. I love happy endings and using my biology degree in ways it was absolutely not intended. That means a lot of interesting alien biology as well as thoughtful world building.

But that's not the only reason to enjoy my writing. I also like writing diverse characters (LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and more) and (because I'm an author and what more can you expect from me?) throwing them into mortal peril every time it makes sense for the plot (which is sadly nowhere NEAR as often as I would like).

The worst thing you can do to yourself when you're feeling writer's block is pressure yourself. Most likely, you're already feeling pressure, so it just makes it worse.

I also don't tend to call it writer's block. I may say I'm stressed, not motivated, not inspired, but I don't say I'm blocked. I'm not. If I absolutely HAD to write something, I could. It would be terrible. I might have to delete it later, but I could write SOMETHING. Rather, it just isn't the best time for me to be writing.

Often, shifting my focus to other things like editing or self-promotion (or reading a good book), even ranting on blog posts, are better uses of my time. My subconscious often works on problems while I've consciously moved on, so it often doesn't take long before I'm racing back to the keyboard.

So give yourself a much needed break. Your muse will thank you for it.(less)

I love world building. I love coming up with all the little details that make something unique and fully fleshed out. I'm a scientist by trade, so getting the little facts right gets me really excited (like almost bouncing in my seat).(less)
