I am not sure that I have ever experienced it but when I hit a "dry" spell it's because I've written myself into a corner, i.e. an impossible or highly improbable situation and cannot think of a reasonable solution, in which case I simply change my plot or direction, even if it means a rewrite. I do not dwell on hopeless situations solved by unreal solutions.

Finally finishing a book and holding it in your hands after it is published - hands down the best thing!

Sit down, pick up a pencil and write one or two paragraphs about whatever is in your mind. If you are a "writer", it will flow like an artesian well - if not, settle in with a good book and read.

I really do not get inspired to write. I like to write because I am intrigued by the English language and its versatility, plus the absurd simplicity of communication made complex by the wonderful language that is English. In short, I love the language!

The idea came from my years of veterinary practice involving dogs and their owners and families and my finding that most of these relationships endured and blossomed even though neither party could communicate with the other.
As I matured with my practice and endured more than a half century of these observations, I realized what I thought to be an explanation for the way dogs behaved and that people could benefit exponentially if they were made aware of this and explained how to use this info in order to make their relationship with a dog more predictable and pleasant ... ergo, The Little Book of Dog.
