I apologize for not answering sooner--I didn't realize questions had been posted! Dealing with writer's block is HARD. For me it usually coincides with bouts of self-doubt and negative thinking. To combat it, I usually have to combat the negativity and remind myself is that all I'm doing is "TELLING A STORY!"
Not everyone is going to like or connect with my story and that's okay. Reminding myself that it's "just a story" keeps me grounded. Also focusing on what I love helps keep me excited despite the negative voices. Thanks for your question!

Hello again Mrs. Shecter! I *literally* just finished rereading "Curses and Smoke," (with more than one tear in my eye), and just wanted to say that I would love to see Lucia's and Tag's story on the silver screen. In the meantime, I was wondering whether or not you were working on another Classical, historical story? In the meantime, I'll be reading Robert Harris's "Pompeii," as recommended!
