Anne R. Bailey
Anne R. Bailey is an entrepreneur, novelist, and wife, when she can find the time.

Anne’s love of writing, historical fiction, and romance encouraged her to dive head first into the publishing world.

With a cup of warm coffee by her side and her dog at her feet, she can be found at her desk writing into the night.

Getting through her writer’s block is helped by listening to some of her favorite movie soundtracks. She finds that it really helps to pull her back into her writing. But sometimes it does not work either and at that point she just has to walk away from her computer for about an hour or so.

The trouble with writer’s block is that it can really ruin your motivation (or make you quit writing for days at a time) so whatever you do you have to keep pressing forward.
