How do you deal with writer’s block?

Instead, I think about what I want to write at other times, like on my morning commute. I let my mind wander, and sometimes I have a little help. ;-)

Then I take notes and map out the plot. Like a good screenplay, a good novel or play is best supported by a solid structure. When I'm finally ready to write, I just flesh out the skeleton. That's where the magic happens, and sometimes the creative process will take me in a different direction. Writing, being creative—that's the fun and rewarding part. But it's also short-lived.

Then comes the tedious, handwringing process of revising the text to get the finished product. Editing is where most of the writing actually takes place. Reading from a potential reader's point of view, you ask what works, what doesn't work, what gets cut, what must be reworded.

I honestly believe that writers who don't spend time learning how to edit will never reach their full creative potential. I might need to revise a text 2, 4, 8, 16 times… (less)

An RV and Cycling Adventure

August 1, 2015

Today I gave the motorcoach a good workout.

I started by driving 70 miles south from Salem to Eugene, where I bought a vintage 3-speed cruiser bike from a grad student named Amy. This English Raleigh “All Steel Bicycle” was made in 1968 and has all its original parts, including a Brooks leather saddle, also made in England. I paid $80 for it. I guess there’s no market anymore for some Read more of this blog post »
