If I can't do more.. then that's ok. I make my fingers move on the keys. My other trick is to work on something else for a while or another part of the book. I write mysteries, YA, middle grade, poetry... so I usually have 5 or 6 things cooking at once. If I get stuck on the main one, I shift to another for a little while. I also keep an ideas folder...but rarely have to look at it. (less)

There's a rush and a pleasure that is unlike anything I've ever felt. When you see all the pieces and they work.... it's a great feeling.
The other is seeing people read my work and be affected. It's a gift to me and I like it very much. (less)

Quotes by Steve Schatz  (?)

“In the physical world,
for every action there is an opposite reaction.
Throw a ball against a wall and the wall pushes back.
The ball bounces.
In the world of the web of light, it is different.
For every action, there is a result,
but it rarely is the opposite.
Throw love at something. The result is more love.
Throw understanding.
The result is more understanding.
Even if you throw love at hate, the result is more love.
What do YOU throw?
It is your choice.
Your responsibility
There is always a result.
Not an opposite reaction.”
Steve Schatz, Adima Rising
