Enjoy it! Enjoy your writing. If you’re struggling at it and are of the belief system that you’ve got to write 1000 words a day no matter what, you’ll find yourself approaching your work with about as much enthusiasm as you carry the shopping in from the car. And trust me, the reader can tell.
Secondly, if you’ve got writers’ block then stop writing. Take six months off; spend a year at the beach, hitch-hike around the world, whatever. You’ll come back refreshed with so many thoughts and words flowing around your brain, pulsating and swimming, knocking into one another until you can finally ambush them and leak them out onto the page. This, believe it or not, is how I write
