2. Stumped: Most people would call this 'writers block', but I prefer 'stumped.' I can always write something, but if I'm stumped...it turns out to be trash. I was recently in a very bad stumped situtation. I was attempting to work on my first novel, but the story wasn't exciting, and it wasn't going anywhere. I needed a good 'twist' for my story, and I didn't know how to work it out. First, if you are stumped, relax totally, and think nothing about the story. Turn off the computer, and put away the notebooks. Watch a good chicflik, and have a bowl of ice cream. But what worked for me, is something not as often recommended. Talk to a fellow writer, or older sibling. I told my older brother about my predicament, and he helped me tremendously. He writes as well, though his style is totally different from mine. He is smart, and gave me a great idea, and good advice.

My final piece of advice is this: Don't begin writing with the goal of getting rich. You will be deluding yourself, wasting your time. A few years ago the Writers Guild did a survey and discovered that the average published writer in America made less that $7,000 a year at the craft, hardly enough to quit the day job. Indeed, the Guild said at the time that only about 900 people in America made their living solely from writing.
