I've never actually dealt with writer's block.It may be because I don't write professionally, so I never have the looming pressure of a deadline. Though I think it is most likely due to obsessively outlining of my work before I begin. If I come close to experiencing anything like writer's block, it happens in the outlining process. Though at that point, it's less a block and more of a challenge to determine what my characters have to do to make it past that certain obstacle. (less)

Guaranteed Ways to Boost Book Sales

I recently wrote a tongue-in-cheek blog on boosting book sales which has been very well received. As someone mentioned to me, nothing in it is "wrong." At the most, I hope it helps you sell books, at the very least, I hope it makes you smile.
