Writing is such a solitary existence and I know when I'm feeling those doubt weasels creep in, I have to remind myself we all go through it. I'm also extremely lucky to have a fantastic editor at Mills & Boon. The last time I was really struggling through a book and its revisions, Laura gave me a call and a pep talk. Now when I struggle, I think about that talk and scale the wall.

I can't comment on the existence of writers' block thing, but permission to write badly is, oddly, liberating.
