Writing for me is information to the world. Whether it is in music, poetry, periodicals or books, writing is one’s greatest expression which comes from the heart. What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer’s block? Place the material down and pick it up later, but read the material several pages before you put it down and begin the write again. What is your favorite time to write? At night. What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve ever received and would like to impart to other writers? Write about your life, or your surroundings. It’s easier to write something that is dear to you. What excites you most about being a writer in today’s age? The challenge to finish the book.
