For as long as he can remember, Michael Rupured has loved to write.

After the writing begins, the characters come to life at some point and take the story in unexpected and often surprising directions. I get lost and/or stall out because the story in progress is not the story I set out to write. Enter writer's block. I've learned to just keep writing. After false starts and a few stumbles into blind alleys, eventually I find my way to the end.(less)
