The trick for me is always just getting started. Once I actually get over the hump and start working, I generally find it&#x27;s pretty easy to keep going. It&#x27;s getting started without sidetracking myself that really puts up the biggest resistance.<p>That may not work for an author who&#x27;s lacking inspiration, but in my case I found that when I sat down at the keyboard to work on my book, if I couldn&#x27;t think of what to write I&#x27;d just start writing utter crap for a while until it started to flow a little better, then I was usually off to the races.
