Being able to create from your heart, then have people read, connect, and appreciate it.

I actually don't deal with a lot of writer's block. Dreadful place, though. I'd assume it's my approach that keeps me safe. I always keep a list of story ideas on my phone--despite what Stephen King says. When I pick a story, I always go for one that I feel extremely passionate about; one that I feel a need to tell. Then I'll plant the idea in my head and let it grow. Once I feel the story has developed enough inside my head, I'll begin outlining. On the rare occasion I do pull up to writer's block, I'll take a breather, and stop thinking so much. Let your heart write--not your mind.

I got the idea when I took a moment to look back at my own life and where I am. I realized I've spent a lot of time chasing after what I want instead of what I need, and because of that, I've endured some painful consequences. So, I took that quality, put it into the main character, then threw him into a situation where it'd cause him the most trouble.
