APPEARING ALL THREE DAYS
BOOTH C-16

Evan was born and raised in a small town of Michigan. In a place where there are more cows than people Evan had a mind that would go elsewhere. A sixth grade English assignment that taught about all the different genres he found that he favored science fiction and fantasy. Evan wrote a story for the assignment. Later in eighth grade a similar assignment came about, and he brought back the story and even after he turned it in, he continued to work on it.

Within Evan’s time writing his story The Lord of the Rings came to cinema and that was the fuel to light his imagination. He read The Hobbit and that was his biggest influence on what a story could be. Evan graduated from Oakland University with a BFA in Theater acting and has been working with his local community theater for several years. When Evan isn’t working or writing he plays video games, mostly World of Warcraft and other RPGs.

Evan originally self-published his trilogy but after the company fell short on promises he left and was later picked up by BHC Press. Now with the trilogy fully reedited and republished Evan now works on other stories and a soon to be comic.

Battling the Blockage

Evan Heuker

Writer's block is an all too common occurrence. I will be discussing methods that I use to overcome those ruts that can keep a writer from progressing. Is there something wrong with the scene? Are the characters not moving forward? Understanding the issue is the first step. Breaking down what the individual problems may be causing the blockage can make it easier to overcome. Drawing inspiration from another medium of art, ways to discover something new, powering through, taking a step back and many other ways to break the blockage.
