Nina Kiriki Hoffman was a winner from the very first volume of Writers of the Future and later became a Contest judge.
In this interview, she covers writer's block and how to deal with it. She also discusses how if you want to write short stories try taking characters from your novel and write something about that character before they got to the book, i.e. a right of passage before they became a character in the novel. Write a story about them and you get to know your character that much better when you write your novel.
