I Write Pretty Much Anywhere - On

When You Work Alone, You Need To Socialize At Some Level.

Generally My Typical Books Have Lots Of Twists And Turns A Big Surprise Ending And Then Usually Another Surprise At The End And Ideally, As In Garden Of Beasts, We Get To The Very End And We Find At The Last Few Pages That There's Yet Another Surprise.

Trying To Write Books With A Subject Matter Or In A Genre Or Style You're Not Familiar With Is The Best Way To Find The Big Block Looming.

And Life Changes. Maybe Just A Little, Maybe A Lot. And At Some Point, It Just Isn't Worth The Fight To Fix It.

I've Often Said That There's No Such Thing As Writer's Block; The Problem Is Idea Block. When I Find Myself Frozen-whether I'm Working On A Brief Passage In A Novel Or Brainstorming About An Entire Book-it's Usually Because I'm Trying To Shoehorn An Idea Into The Passage Or Story Where It Has No Place.
