Coming soon!

Continuing the creative process in another place sometimes sparks an idea that opens a window that releases the block. I also come from a newspaper background. Writing on deadline with a sweating, drooling, heaving editor standing over you means you find a way past writer's block - or look for another job.(less)

Dave Vizard is accepting questions on their profile page.
Dave Vizard added a status update: I'm developing an idea for a new murder mystery. It involves the creation and sale of children? Is this topic too dark. My doctor says the plot for my mystery is feasible and plausible but does it go too far and become a turn off for readers.
