Q&A with Christine Fonseca discussion

Post any questions you may have about the writing and publishing process

How do you get past thinking that what you're putting down on paper isn't good enough?

LOL!!! I am NOT past that point. But I publishing in spite of that horrible feeling of AHHHHHH!!!

Ha ha well that's good to know, I think. What do you do when you feel stuck and you don't know where the story is going?

Do you have writing pet peeves or rituals? Like do you need complete silence or something like that?

If I feel stuck, I do something non-writing related. The block never lasts long and it is usually because I am trying to edit WHILE I draft - I can't do both simultaneously and when I do I always get stuck.

In some respects my process is my ritual - how I start, the steps I take. That and music. I MUST have the right music for the scene or I will stall out. Every darn time
