When I am staring at a blank document, I try not to panic and I make myself stay in my writing space for the time I had committed to that day. I do not allow myself to get into any distractions. I also make sure not to critique or rewrite anything I’ve written previously, as that is not the energy in which I want to write. Usually, I sit quietly and, surprisingly, new inspirations come and writers block recedes.

My best advice for a new writer is to create a discipline of writing that works for them. It needs to be regularly scheduled time (perhaps every day or a certain number of days a week) in a space conducive to writing. Be deliberate – what you are really doing is aligning your body, mind and emotions in service to your writing. Create a starting ritual for your writing – for me it is lighting a candle – that marks your space and puts you mentally in a space conducive to your writing.(less)
