Hi Gale,
Thanks for the question. Yes! I plan to do four books and am nearing the end of writing book 2 now.

I chip at it with a chisel until it goes away.
Okay, seriously? I let myself rest for a while. A block for me is an indication my brain wants some planning time. The hard part is getting restarted, but I try as much as possible to set a 'get back to work' date and stick to it. Nowadays, I tell myself I'll do three lines and that's it.
You can do three lines, regardless of block, right?
She came. She saw. She conquered.
See? Three lines. Sometimes I can only manage that. But most times I end up breaking the block--because once you start, it's hard to stop--and I actually write more than the three lines.
Or I'll spend the time re-writing them so they have more than six words and something to to do with the actual story I'm writing. Whichever way you go, you've written and you've broken your block and you're now free to booze up on the bottle of wine you have chilling in the fridge.
And if you do have an actual bottle in the fridge, feel free send me a virtual glass. This breaking up blocks thing is thirsty work.
