This is the easiest question to answer. I get up and walk away. I divert my attention for a little while. I don't stop thinking of where I left off per se, but the diversion clears my head and gets me to see the forest from the trees.

I can tell the story I want to tell and not necessarily the story that someone else wants me to tell. It is a strange thing though. While I have more freedom to speak my mind, I also develop more restraint in regards to things that don't need to be said.

Don't stop writing. I draw from my favorite rock and roll band, The Eagles. The late Glen Frey said that his friend Bob Seger told him to keep writing... don't worry if the songs you write are bad... they will be, just keep writing and the gem will reveal itself.

When I wrote Hacking IT it was over 300 pages long and was filled with way too many personal feelings and that was not my intent. So I stripped away some of that and a few other things that were not pertinent to the conversation and ended up with a book I was proud of and excited to publish. Now I have what is left and this is going to be the next two books. The first is a book focused on privacy - which is digitally becoming extinct. The second book is going to be my first stab at a fictional book.

It doesn't take much these days. I write all the time. I draw on the experience and my passions when I sit behind my laptop. Sometimes it is something I see, but mostly it is something or someone that I draw inspiration from.

Spending over 20 years in the technology world and watching it evolve during that time, I realized there was more to the profession. I saw a number talented IT professionals angry and bitter because they felt their success was either not recognized or not there at all. I drew on my management and leadership experience and realized the reason was more than the skill set we all shared.
