When I'm blocked its usually because I'm trying too hard to make something happened that isn't there yet.

It keeps my hands busy, relaxes me, and allows my head to take a walk.

I started to think about my own children who did not know me when I was young and if it would help them understand who I was so I wrote down small short stories for them to read one day. While I was doing this Emmett Casey, the main character in my novel started to take shape in my head. I had never written before but I began to and when the kids read it they said I had to finish it, and the rest is now Bless Me Father.
