If I run dry on whatever project I'm currently working on, I pause and do research,( yes, even fiction requires research to get the details right) or I work on a different project. Often I write a blog post, and just the act of writing helps open the writing gates.

I discover the deeper layers in my characters' lives, and I often come away surprised with what I've written. I discover things I didn't know, or things I forgot I knew.
Also, I have cool writer friends and cool reader friends.(less)

One of my paintings, It's Murder Out Here, (24 H by 28W) will be on display at Willard Art& Frame in Bothell, WA beginning September 30 through the end of October.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets
