How do you deal with writer’s block?

If I ever do get stuck, the best way I've learned to deal with it is to just force myself to keep going. Even if it's crap and I hate it, and I know it will never ever make it into the final draft, I just push through. As long as there's something there I know it can be fixed later. I can't fix a blank page. (less)

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

I could tell you the exact moment I fell irreversibly in love and it became so much more than just a game to me. So I've always known I wanted to find a way to include this passion into the other great love of my life: writing.
I also really wanted to write a book that my dad could read. He was banned from SIUTK because of its more risque elements.
Those two desires are what prompted the original idea for "Bless Her Heart," but just as I've discovered before, the novel I end up with is never the one I set out to write. (less)

Quotes by Blakney Francis (?)

“If you can just stop loving her then you never really loved her at all. Love doesn't work that way. If you ever truly love someone, then it never goes away. It can become something else. There are all different sorts of love. It can even become hate- a thin line and all that- and, really, hate is just another kind of caring.”
― Blakney Francis, Someone I Used to Know

“It was funny how all the useless knowledge you accumulated when you're in love with someone could sit for years gathering dust in the back of your mind, only to spill out at the slightest reminder.”
