That being said, whether in a newsroom or by writing Hitler's Last Hostages alone, I have found that writer’s block comes when I am either unsure of what I want to say or when I know what I want to say but am insecure about saying it. If you’re unsure, research further. If you’re insecure, check your sources. Doing so may not bring all the answers, but it will bring further clarity.(less)

I also enjoyed "The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen," a wonderful, witty fictional Dutch diary of an 83-year-old man.

For fall, I'm diving into cookbooks, namely "Love & Lemons" and "Ruffage," with I like because they are organized by the specific ingredient the reader wants to use up. For someone who hates cooking, I love cookbooks. (less)
