Dom asked Sara B. Larson:

I absolutely love the Defy series, and I admire your writing so much. I am trying to write a book myself, but lately I am having a really hard time with writer's block. I was just wondering if you ever have periods of time where you just can't seem to write anything, and if so, what do you do to snap out of it?

Sara B. Larson You're so sweet, thank you! Yes, I definitely have those times. I have a few different techniques - I try to find new music to write to, that helps me get into the mood of the scenes I need to write. Or I will go workout or go for a walk/hike/run to try and clear my mind and then go try again. Or I will do word sprints on a timer to force myself to just write ANYTHING, even if it's not great. You can't revise a blank page, but you CAN fix a draft, even if it's a mess. ;-)
