How do you deal with writer’s block?

On those days I find it is beneficial to get up and take a walk. Do a Sudoku or another sort of puzzle. I have jigsaw-puzzle binges. I'm on one right now. Very therapeutic, finding piece after piece and seeing the image emerge. It's something I can control and achieve perfectly -- unlike with creative writing. For a perfectionist (most writers), that's healthy. A healthy kind of perfection.(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

So far the advantage of 'being a writer' (I was probably always a writer) as far as I can tell (been published for three and a half weeks) is the excitement of the journey, from the first sentence to signing the contract, to launching the book, signing copies and beyond. It is meeting new and interesting people. It is not having to fix my hair for work. But most of all, it is getting to create every day. Not being confined to imposed parameters for speech and behaviour. Of course my first book is a memoir, so their were some constraints, but I am also working on a fable for adults that is about a family of birds. That is entirely make believe. If you can make a living in make believe, do, I say. Do. (less)

Almost Old #1 My mother turns 100

Apologies for changing the name of my blog yet again. But I have decided to write elsewhere about child estrangement and to make this a place where I can talk more broadly, with a focus only on ageing, something that matters to all of us but starts to matter more, especially for women, after fifty, the age I am at currently, an age I think could be described as 'almost old'.
