But when I get panicky about finishing a book, or working on it (which is, I think, a good definition of writer's block), I go small. I focus on one part of the book.

Today I Learned …

The role of John McClane in the movie Die Hard, played to perfection by Bruce Willis, was originally offered to Frank Sinatra. Of course, it was just a formality at that point, as Sinatra was 72 years old by then. Sinatra had starred in a 1968 movie called The Detective, and Die Hard was technically a sequel to it.
