What a beautiful location for a #writingretreat ! Congratulations, Valeria!
Granting ourselves the time to #write can be a challenge. ✍️ A #writingretreat is one way of giving ourselves permission 💪 to kickstart our project or breathe new energy into a WIP, while making new friends who’ll support us on our #writing journey. #BookSky valeriavescina.com/teaching/wri...

How to Overcome Writer’s Block
Writer's block: it's a term lots of people bandy around as if it's some kind of medical or psychological condition that blocks creative flow. I have strong views about writer's block, which I shared in my talk the Troubador Publishing's annual Self Publishing Conference in Leicester on Saturday. While the talk is still fresh in my mind, I thought I'd share my reasoning in this week's blog post.

First a quick explanation! Due to some severe health issues over the last few years, and a lingering chronic condition, my planned review schedule went right out of the window and I have been scrabbling ever since to get it back on track. In an attempt to try to regain some lost ground, I have been scrunching some of my (overdue) reviews together into one or two posts each week: shorter reviews, but still covering all of the points I intended to.
