In my opinion writers block is simply not knowing what to write. I plot ahead a couple chapters to I know what to write towards, where my work needs to lead. Do I have to go back and change stuff? Sure, sometimes, but I've written something to change.

Writing is the best thing about being a writer. The only way you'll be satisfied is if you make your dreams come true. After so many years of trying I wrote a book that people enjoyed and urged me to find a way to publish. Fulfilled.

Just write, it will suck, throw it away and do it again. Don't force your genre, you may love reading X put can only write Y. Figure it out and never give up.

I'm writing book two of the Paul Masset series set in Libya. People get shot, things blow up, Masset gets the hot chick. You won't be disappointed.

After years and years of trying I've found that I'm only productive in the morning. If you wake up at 6 AM and wonder what kind of idiot is up at that ungodly hour, I hope you'll remember that it's me, I'm that idiot. I do it everyday. It's a muscle you have to train, to build, It really is, the muse doesn't strike. It follows orders.

I've been thinking about Paul Masset as a character for a while but one night I was watching Romancing the Stone and everything just clicked. I had the outline done in like a week.
