In between times, I'm working on my next book, an as-yet officially-untitled romantic comedy, set in modern times. I can't tell you the working title that I'm using with my publisher, because it'll give away too much. But it's actually saved in my computer as "Neues Museum" because I had the first ideas for one of the characters when I was in the Neues Museum in Berlin. (less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Then I turn the computer off, and I go get myself outside of my head -- anything to *not* be thinking about what I'm trying to work on. Luckily, I happen to live in a city with a lot of museums. I read books, though I do try to avoid books that are about similar subjects. I listen to a lot of music.

I find that, for me, trying to push through writer's block just doesn't work. My best ideas never come when I'm sitting in front of a blank page and blinking cursor -- they come to me when I'm doing something else. Washing the dishes, to my chagrin, is always a really creative time for me. I let my mind wander while I'm doing my domestic stuff, and I get some really great stuff when I'm in situations where I *can't* write. (This has led to me having little note papers and post-it notes stashed everywhere, so I can at least set down little ideas or lines that will work.)(less)

“There is a gay history and it isn’t always negative and tearful”

An amazing cache of WWII love letters has been found, between a soldier named Gilbert Bradley, and his sweetheart, Gordon Bowsher.

You can read about it at BBC & at NewNowNext

There are over 300 letters between the two. The person who happened upon the first few thought they were simply charming WWII letters from a GI stationed in England to his s
