Whether you’re a newbie author two chapters into their first book, or a seasoned author with two dozen books in the bookstores, connecting with other authors can be a wonderful source of inspiration and motivation.

I don't know about you, but sometimes, as an author, I get stuck. Just...stuck. And when that happens, I need some help to get...unstuck.

In this episode, I will discuss the different strategies I personally use, and strategies I know other authors use, to help overcome "writer's block."

Not sure which POV is best for your book? This episode breaks down the pros and cons of writing in the different points of view, from first person to third person limited and omniscient (and even second person!). Not really sure what each of these are? No worries! I'll break down what each POV means and (hopefully) give you some food for thought on which one would be best for your book.
