I don't believe in it. A writer can get blocked on a specific project, but there's no reason to be unable to write ANYTHING. If a project has hit a dead end, switch to something else. While the subconscious works to find a solution to the original problem, write something else.

I'm a character-focused writer (and reader), so it doesn't get any better than when I bring a character to life. Out of nothing, that character becomes real.

Write new stories. Don't rewrite the same story over and over and over. You don't become a better storyteller doing that.
I broke through when I took on the Story-A-Week challenge. Every week, I wrote a new story, and sent it out to a market. I learned by starting a new story every Monday, and it was a lot more fun.

The first four weeks in January, I'll be writing short stories for anthology assignments. After that, I'll be back at work on the third and final book in the Rabbit Labelle Saga. I love those characters!

Some days, it's easy to write and everything goes smoothly. Other days, you just have to be a professional and write anyway. A writer writes whether he feels inspired or not.

When I originally conceived Offside, I thought it would span all three sports seasons in the 1967-1968 school year. As it turned out, however, the novel was complete when the football season ended.
Even so, there was plenty of room for the story to continue. Between the wonderful reaction to Offside and my love for the characters, I just had to write Offensive Foul.
