T.J. Klune's Tip

One thing many writers hear (especially when they're first starting out) is that they need to write every day. While I believe this advice comes from a good place, it's not without its faults. There will be days when you race through the pages, the words pouring from your fingertips onto the screen. And while wonderful, it's not realistic to keep that up every single day. There will be days when the dreaded writer's block sets in, and nothing comes out.

One of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten was to avoid forcing yourself through those harder writing days. You're not a failure if you have to stop and take a step back, giving yourself a break and room to breathe. The story will be there waiting for you, and if you allow yourself to get a bit of distance--even if just for a day or so--you'll be able to come back stronger than ever.

She currently resides in the rainy Pacific Northwest with her children, dogs, cats, and assorted other strays, including a library for wayward texts.
