--How do you handle writers’ block?
If I hit a point where I can't seem to move forward I often find it helpful to switch the POV character, or to deliberately lop off the opening paragraphs of a scene (because I usually end up discovering I don't need them anyway). But sometimes I don't even realize I've got writer's block because it hides itself under never quite having enough time to write, and that's a different kind of challenge!
I hope nothing is blocking you this week!
