What I do think it is, however, is a confidence issue. When we get scared that what we're writing isn't good enough, we tend to self-sabotage by "not having ideas." I think what we really mean by this is that the ideas we're having don't seem like the right ones, or good enough, and in the end that's just a road block we're throwing up for ourselves. So even if I think what I'm writing stinks, I write anyway. And maybe it does stink. Or maybe it doesn't. But pushing through is the only way to find out. (less)

Awesome to hear from you ;) Yes, I have a daily word count goal of 2,000 words, but sometimes, when I'm still in a research stage or when other circumstances (sick kid, etc.) don't allow me, I try to be patient with myself and realize that as long as I'm sitting down to write and making the effort I don't always have to be perfect.

As for the podcast, I'd love to do one again soon. I'm guessing that I'll be doing a lot more media once I get a second book out there, a draft of which I just finished. (less)

“Fiction is the truth inside the lie.”
Stephen King

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
Stephen King

“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”
Stephen King
