Ben Mezrich
I used to drink jack Daniels but I learned that was not a great way to break through. Now I have tricks that I use. Writers block is usually your mind refusing to continue going down a path that isn't working. Erase the last paragraph or even chapter you wrote and go from there. Also never stop writing at the end of a chapter, stop in the middle so the next day you start write up- sometimes I stop right in the middle of a sentence!

Hi Ben, by pure coincidence I've recently read your xfiles book, Skin. I've always wondered, how do authors get those gigs? Did you have an idea for an xfiles story first, write and submit? Or were you headhunted? Also, did you enjoy the experience and would you ever do it again?
