Norman Weeks is an autobiographical and experiential writer.

An Autobiographical Letter is the straight-through narrative of a half-century of the author’s life, relating the experiences that fed into the writings. Its companion volume, Autobioscenes & Necrographies, extracts and expands some episodes from that life. The first book is the panorama, the second some snapshots.

Also derived from personal experiences are several books of travel narratives: Nature Norm’s North Woods, excursions into the natural world. Tropical Ecstasy, a nostalgia trip back to Brazil, to the town where the author lived as a Peace Corps Volunteer. And Two Weeks in Eternal Egypt, as a member of a tour group exploring the antiquity and sociology of that country.

Any person with "writer's block" should reconsider whether they are meant to be a writer.

I am an autobiographical and experiential writer. Out of an interesting life I have plenty of material to work on. The subject incubates in my unconscious, emerges, then I give it expression and form. Or ideas present themselves, I welcome them, and write them.

So, no "writer's block". Once it becomes anything psychological, you're done for.

No "Inspiration" either. Writing can't be anything mystical.

Writing is all craftsmanship. Learn language, get to work, stick with it, and proceed to mastery. That's it. (less)

An advantage of digital publishing is that a book published need not be a book stuck as-is in print forever. I go back over books I wrote years ago and make improvements in the striving for the most perfect expression. (less)

Dear Indigo:

I think you have answered the question yourself, as you say "each story shows a different side of human life and choices." That is exactly what the book does.
