How do you deal with writer’s block?

When I get stuck, that usually tells me I made a wrong turn somewhere.…moreI don't believe in writer's block, because a writer can always write something. When I get stuck, that usually tells me I made a wrong turn somewhere. That doesn't happen often because I use a loose outline so I know where I'm going. When it does, I go back to where the book felt like it was last on course, and take it in a different direction (brainstorming first to get a basic idea of where it might lead--if I like that, I'll re-outline from there and get back to work on the writing.(less)

Hi Gary, thanks to a couple long flights I've just powered through all four Kelly Chan books in a couple of days. Kudos on a great series! Quick question: I jumped over to the Kelly Chan series after book 7 of the Jonathan Shade books, and through a couple reference I noticed I might have gotten ahead of the main series. Do you have a published chronology for how the books line up? Thanks again!

Gary Jonas Hi Neil,

Chronology would go something like this:

Razor Dreams (Shade 7)
Vampire Midnight (Kelly 1)
Vertigo Effect (Shade 8)
Club Eternity (Shade 9)

Chronology would go something like this:

Razor Dreams (Shade 7)
Vampire Midnight (Kelly 1)
Vertigo Effect (Shade 8)
Club Eternity (Shade 9)
Werewolf Samurai (Kelly 2)
Timeless Gods (Shade 10)
Subhuman Resources (Kelly 3)
Zombie Rising (Kelly 4)

Thanks much, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.

Best,
Gary(less)

Quotes by Gary Jonas (?)

“The next step was to remove the brain. The priest took a long iron rod with a hook on it. He pushed it up through Tut’s nose, broke through the bone behind the eyes with a squick sound, and twirled the rod around like a whisk to break up and liquefy the brain. Again, they believed the heart was the location for thought, so the brain had no purpose.”
― Gary Jonas, Anubis Nights
