Hi Katherine, I'm another Goodreads author and yesterday I received the request I've pasted below. I see you've had the same request. Did you act on it? Like most authors, I could always use more reviews. But I'm hesitant. Thanks so much any input. OnlyQualityBooks I would like to review your latest book. Can you please send me an ARC copy to doungd56@gmail.com? I accept PDF, MOBI and EPUB. Thanks Doug

Yes, I did, without thinking. However, I saw the comments questioning the validity of requests like that and have wondered if I did the right thing. I think I'll e-mail doungd56@gmail.com and see if I get a response. I'll let you know if I do. (less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Katherine P. Stillerman I've found some wonderful advice about that in the Writer's Digest blogs and articles, which I use anytime I get stumped.

What has worked best for me …moreI've found some wonderful advice about that in the Writer's Digest blogs and articles, which I use anytime I get stumped.

What has worked best for me is to keep a journal and write through the block. Sometimes I'll jot down all of the problems I'm having with a character or a particular part of the plot line. Sometimes I'll start writing a chapter or scene, putting down anything in the world that comes to mind. Later, I'll go back and find that there are a few sentences that I can pull out and build on. Or, the fog will clear by getting everything off my chest, and I'll be able to move forward.

One advantage I have is that I've never been under a deadline to publish and can always remind myself that in time this too shall pass. I'm sure that writer's block would be troubling when time is of the essence. (less)

Rouen: A Layered City

A LAYERED CITY

One of the most interesting stops on our recent Viking Cruise along the Seine River, was Rouen, an ancient city where the remains of bygone eras are layered beneath and alongside the contemporary structures, like this tower,Tour de Saint-André. The church was demolished in the nineteenth century to make room for a public square, but the tower was preserved as an example of gothic
