Writer's block and I are old friends. Three things can help if it's the variety that doesn't just involve time sorting things out (some life events like deaths and divorces are hard to write through.) But these are just good principles to follow. First, regular muse care and feeding -- whatever good stories Leroy wants to consume (books, movies, TV, games, etc.) Second, Ken care and feeding -- getting rest, eating healthy, exercising, hydrating and staying engaged in my recovery. Third, establishing a daily habit of writing whether or not I'm on a project (I fail at this one consistently but still think it's a useful tool and work toward it.) I highly recommend Bane's Around the Writer's Block and Pressfield's War of Art.

Most of the time I keep a list of characters and a brief description to jog my memory as I start each new book if I think it is going to be a complicated story line. I failed to do this when I started Lamentation. Don't know why. I am now into the 3rd book. Perhaps I can stop over soon and you could give me a general timeline? This would make it much easier for me to follow the story. Eloise
