I think it's funny how people say your book has to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. News flash: (All books do)

My fourth book, will, I hope, put an end to the controversy for all on the Kennedy assassination. I have done my home work this time and researched thousands of hours finding the real facts of the case. The Russians were involved but not in a way you might think! This book is a nice blend of fact and fiction. "The Kennedy Ghosts".
# 3 book will be out early next year. "Fishing Among the Birds" then next summer will come the Kennedy Ghosts.

The other day I was making eggs when, just after I cracked an egg an idea came to me for a story. I stood there thinking about it and as I did the egg came out of the shell slid down my leg and hit the floor. Yes folks, that was the first egg Blog of the century!

How to cure writer's block. Write! And I mean anything. Just start writing, you can delete it if you don't like it but write. It happens to me all the time. And before you know it...wham I'm cruising, sometimes I can't stop. Like last night I went to bed and had to get back up because the story said I'm not done yet. I wrote for another hour. (Tired at work today though)

Being a writer is not something you fight to be, you either are or are not.
Let me explain. This has nothing to do with how good your are at writing. It has to do with wanting to write. If you have to force yourself all the time to write, this might not be the job or hobby for you. For me it just bleeds out of me. I just have to write. Maybe you can not spell or put a sentence together it does not matter that's what editors are for. Don't let that stop you.
