BBC writersroom interviews The X Files writer, Frank Spotnitz.
Frank shares his tips on getting through problems in your writing - and how these are often about mistakes made many story beats earlier, now showing themselves.
He talks about how the job of a writer is to make the character and the story inseparable, and how connecting with who you are and what you uniquely have to say, is the key to being successful as a writer.
