You're sitting comfortably at your home office when you hear a loud growl behind you, and for a moment, you wonder what could have your dog Bowser so agitated.
You whirl your chair around, and in the second before you see it, you suddenly remember Bowser passed away last Thursday.

The best medicine is preventive. I've learned to never write without an outline; that way if I start to get stuck, I can look at where things will be going and see if I can find a good way to chain events together between point A and B. Writing out of order, doing up a draft of a later scene, can also help you spark an idea for an earlier section you're having trouble with.

A couple things at the moment. On the backburner? A horror novel that started as a novella and just kind of kept growing. On the frontburner? The third Architects Of The Illusion book. Got some really exciting scenes and plot turns mapped out, with a good chunk of preliminary writing done. If the second book's timeframe is any indication, we'll be looking at Architects part 3 in 2016.
