Dear Maggie,

First, I would like to tell you, You are my favorite author!! I have read almost all of your books and your talent to draw a reader in amazes me.

Second, I have been trying to write a three part series of books! So far it has taken me two years and I only have six chapters completed on the first one, ten chapters on the second and fifteen chapters on the last. My first question is how long did it take you to write your first book?

My second question is what do you do for writer’s block? People that have read what I have written so far, keep urging me to finish it, but I keep getting stuck and I don’t know what I should do to continue. I have not written anything for over two weeks and I feel guilty. Help!

Sincerely,

A Frustrated Writer
