From real events that happened to me and some friends when we were in middle school.

I have lots of notes I keep as ideas for a good book. Some I have chapters invested already. Others are just brief outline. As I go along I try to envision which director would like what I'm doing, then I try to figure what actors that director would like and often structure characters to be a fit for the actor.
I'll give a character a voice: This guy acts and speaks with the style of Wm Holden in Stalag 17. This helps me keep the character consistent.

Based on a true event. its Stand by me, meets Sahara, meets Murphy's Romance". Mayme not exactly, but some of each, and something for everyone. PG. No Erotica. Too much now will give it away.

Write, and then write some more. One short story, one novel, one magazine editorial mention; build on each. Then you will say that you are published. Others will say...my friend... the writer. It feels awkward at first, but you'll come to love it.

That you get to leave something behind. It may not be NYT Best Seller or even get a mention in the local book club, but it's mine, and it will always be mine. I get the same feeling from other creative outlets.

I don't really think about writer's block. When I come to a place where I don't have any more to say, I stop. I try to write throughout the day. Sometimes I just don't have the next scene in my head yet. Sometimes I'm still deciding. I usually get back to it by punching up the scenes before my writing stopped, and often I get my answer on how to proceed.
