It varies. Sometimes I take a break from what I'm working on and write something just for writing's sake (writing prompts are helpful for this). Other times I force myself to write anyway (maybe by focusing on another area of what I'm working on I can push past the block). And sometimes I take a break from writing and read or watch a movie.

Movies, books, and music videos teach our girls that their sexuality is a currency to be used. And then, they do but the price is too high. They trade their bodies and reap pain, grief and shame.
I hope Royal: Life Lessons from the Book of Esther will teach our girls that they are far more valuable than they may realize.
