Okay, okay--I'll go with my gut response: Buckkeep, Robin Hobb's world. I'd prowl around the castle and the town, travel on foot to the Mountain Kingdom, see if I could travel through the mountains to Kelsingra, travel down the Rain Wild River, then take ship in Bingtown and sail around the Pirate Isles, around Clerres, and up to the OutIslands.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

But w…moreI don't get writer's block, although I do get mentally weary after I write for eight or nine hours, so I usually have to stop and rest my brain. But when I sit down to write, words are there. Always. I think the sheer act of picking up a pen and putting it to paper SUMMONS words. As far as JEM is concerned, the entire saga of seven books came loud and clear and strong. Jem starts out as a child, but I saw her story from the beginning clear through to the end. I WILL say that sometimes I get to a point in the story where I can feel that it needs to bubble away on its own in my unconscious for a while, so then I work on something else: a story, a poem, my garden, my house. In addition, I've got another book in another genre that I'd really like to get to soon. (Remember the King under a spell in "Once Upon a Mattress" who can't talk? The spell gets broken, and somebody says "THE KING TALKS!" The King says, "And I've got a lot to say!" I didn't give myself time to write for many years, but now that my dry spell is done, I'VE got a lot to say.) (less)

Quotes by Delaney Green (?)

“(Authors Publish asked WHY DO YOU WRITE?) "Voices...won't...stop...talking. When I drive the car, walk the dog, stir the soup--voices make me write down what they say and shape a world to catch the words.”
