When I’m writing a book, I always have an outline, so if I’m stumped in one section, I’ll just put it to the side for a while and write another part of the story. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just eat some chocolate. It doesn’t help the writer’s block but it does make me feel better.(less)

Sadly, sometimes my spirit gets moved at 3am, which kind of takes the fun out of sleeping… and writing. The other good thing about being a writer is the money. Not the money I actually earn, but the idea that I could earn that money if all the planets line up and Jupiter is in the seventh house and I can convince enough people to buy my books.(less)
