there is no such thing as writers block, it is an excuse for copping out, or not allowing yourself to get into the groove with undivided attention and no distractions, there is always something to write about, think about, research, explore and skipping about is allowed. A diversion to doing your insert pics can help so that you can refocus with clarity and cohesion in mind

Realize you and your early readers must like your story, cover, ideas, theme, insert pics, it is mostly the story, if a great story, it will get read, as for publishing do not even think about going to a publisher without reviewing my notes, you do not need book insurance, do not be stupid, you need marketing skills if you plan on selling your book, oh, did you know chapters submissions require a canadian publisher, oh there aren't any you say? what else can these publishing companies blindly charge you with just like the yellow pages have done. again, email me and i may consider releasing this info. i probably will get charged.

Book two in the robbiesadventures.com series of novels, called Robbie's incarceration is 41,000 words done and i will get finishing it up now that i have figured out how to steal the ending from book three for book two, anyways, i also have a partially free blog called blog help for writers where i teach you how to write a book in days if not hours, you can read some of chapters, 1,2, and the first twelve pages of chapter three, enough to get you started, the premise is, you read what i want you to read for twenty minutes, then daydream or as some people call it, brainstorm over what I want you to think about, then in the next chapter it is just fill in the blanks and finish your story, after that you have the options to re-write and polish or start over with more of your own story ideas, only much better informed

I have always had a unknown gift to write a few things. A fishing story, a baseball newsletter, some screenplays, but this pored out of me, so did most of book two, i love the idea of influencing people and have them take a journey on a satisfying adventurous ride

My sentiments over the Boston Marathon bombings started me investigating the history of Boston and had me thinking about ways to glorify the city to try and make things right for the atrocities, at the same time i came across a true woman's tragic tale, and that was enough to set me off and i never looked back
