Sittin' here staring at a blank page. Gel pen laying lonely on the desk 2 inches from my hand. Feelin' like an anchor pressing down on me. Such is the life of a writer... Sigh.

I'm not against #email or even against email lists. Even being on someone else's email list. Sure it helps us #writers.
But I'm not doing it. I want to #write my books, not #content. Burns too much creativity.
You won't be getting one from me. #Newsletters either. Sorry.

A suspect is telling my MC why the other suspects want the victim dead.
Next question is why do you want him dead. He actually answers my MC. What can my MC do with that?

When your beta readers tell you something doesn't work, they're almost always right. What they tell you to do about it is almost always wrong.

We look for the 'magic pill.'
To make us famous. To make us rich.
That creates the perfect metaphor, the perfect character, the perfect twist, the perfect arc...
That makes us finish the dang thing.
When you find it, if you find it, please save me some.

They say that Groucho Marx had #insomnia. He still managed to live to a grand old age. Maybe there's hope. But somewhere, someone sleeps. Sigh...
