What a perfect question. I'm dealing with it RIGHT NOW! At this very moment, I'm trying to write a piece for the NEW YORK TIMES, but the darn words don't want to come! After many decades of writing, I have learned that block is a natural (but annoying) part of my process. I experience it at the beginning of anything new--a new blog, article, chapter, etc. It is maddening to sit, sometimes for days, staring at a blank screen while nothing comes. I have learned though to just keep at it. If I sit long enough, the words eventually flow. Until they do, there's always Facebook, wine, online solitaire, and junk food to help me bide my time.

I loved your book! I found it to be informative and inspirational. I have a couple questions, if you don't mind. Since your book has been released, has your mother reached out to you? Did she ever apologize? Likewise, did any of Gary's former students contact you, to share their stories? Do you know if Madeline is still alive?
