Jerry Minchey If people would really take my advice, I would tell them to stop writing -- especially the writers who are writing in my field. If all of the other writers would stop writing and I didn't have as much competition, maybe my books would sell better.

Ok, on a serious note, try to find (or create) long periods of uninterrupted time for writing. I find it hard to write in short periods of time. I like to spend at least a half a day at a time writing when I'm working on a book.
Jerry Minchey There are three things I like about being a writer:

1. I can travel full time in my motorhome and still make a living.

2. After I finish a book I continue to receive income for years to come.

3. It's a little like playing the lottery. I never know when I might have a winning ticket (I mean book).
Jerry Minchey Since I write How-to books and not fiction, I don't have any problem with writers' block. I just write about what I know and what I'm doing.
Jerry Minchey I'm finishing up two books. "Secrets of RVing on Social Security" and "Life RV Style -- it's Not What You Expect -- Ten Steps to Making it Happen on a Budget".
Jerry Minchey Since I'm writing about what I'm doing (living in a motorhome), there's no problem getting inspired.
Jerry Minchey I live full time in my motorhome and my last four books have been about living in an RV, so I write about what I'm doing.
