Writing spreads ideas across time, space, and cultures and literally shapes world society in ways both small and large. Words are a part of the human condition, and their impact will continue to be felt as long as people write and read them. What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer’s block? One way to cure writer’s block is to take a break and return to a specific project after some time and read it with fresh eyes. Sometimes that’s when new ideas strike! What is your favorite time to write? Anytime inspiration finds me. What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve ever received and would like to impart to other writers? Always write the genre you read regularly. What excites you most about being a writer in today’s age? With today’s technology, your words can reach many more people, and in the blink of an eye, too.
