I exist, therefore I write. I also constantly read what others write. Writing satisfies my curiosity, pleasure, and intellectual faculties. What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer’s block? To rest and do fun things. I also do journal exercises to center. I wait for new ideas to show themselves. What is your favorite time to write? Morning. What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve ever received and would like to impart to other writers? Use all my (your) senses. What excites you most about being a writer in today’s age? To get surprising feedback. Valerie Harms’s Fierce Reality is out now with Magic Circle Press.
