How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sometimes, it occurs when you leave a work in progress and come back to it and your train of thought has melted away like snow on a warm, sunny day. Sometimes, it happens when you can't imagine what's supposed to happen next. When I get writer's block, I often imagine my character frozen stiff, and their eyes looking out past the fourth wall, begging me to put something on the page so they can get on with their lives.

Whatever the cause is, my solution tends to be the same. I take a step back and just daydream about my characters. I think about what they want out of life. I think about what their next rational move would be. I think about other characters that may be feeling left out of the story and want/need more inclusion. I think about what they must be feeling about the situation that they're in. Usually, letting my mind wander about my characters will unlock the next piece to the puzzle. If worse comes to worse, I'll try something, and if I get a few sentences (or paragraphs!) in and I don't like it, I'll scrap it and daydream some more. Always trust yourself to know what's right for your story and what's not.(less)

In Mansfield’s Mind 2/23/2021

Good day all!

It’s been awhile since I last wrote anything (again), but here we are in the latter end of February plugging along! I’ve had a bit of a longer lull in writing than I intended, but I’m also in the middle of my beta-reading phase for Ivory Chronicles Book 2, awaiting feedback. So, it’s not exactly like no progress is being made, right? Right.

So, one of the biggest challenges that I’m fa
