A lot of it has to do with finding breathing space and doing things that will kick start my brain. So see a movie, read a good book, hang out with friends. Then after a few days sit back down to the keyboard and accept what comes even if it is terrible. The worst thing you can do is to not write at all. (less)

The universal slogan of war, she’d learned, was simple: If it had been you, you’d have done no different.”
