I have writer's block every single day. Doesn't everybody?
On any given day, when I get stopped I just write any kind of crap that comes to mind until I find the sentence that matters, then I go off that sentence.
In the bigger picture, I basically have to suffer through and keep churning out pages, no matter how peripheral, bad or useless they are. I have a quota of 4 pp per day, and I can spend weeks working on material I later throw away. But that's how you find out what happens.

This isn't a question, but just wanted to tell you I was in your lovely store in Juneau last month and saw your books. They look very interesting & I definitely want to read them. Shall I start with your first one, Invisible World? Nice that they were on display! :-)
