Depends on the block! Mostly I just write a bunch of junk, over and over again, every day (or every-ish day) until something clicks. Last year I had it for months on end and wrote a large section of my next book that I ended up completely trashing. Eventually, it clicked. I wrote my way out of it. It was awful, but doing nothing would have paralyzed me, I think.

Kate Moretti:
I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
