I only write when I'm inspired and I don't worry about the downtime. I think writer's block happens when you're forcing yourself to write but aren't really into it (that's why I have so many abandoned stories -- I just stop when I get bored with the story, as I imagine a reader would). There are times when I get stuck -- when I'm still interested in the story I'm writing but can't think of the next scene -- and I just let it fester in my head without forcing myself to write. Eventually the next scene comes to me and the ball starts rolling again. But I wouldn't consider that blocked: I'm constantly thinking about my stories even if I'm not actively writing them.(less)

My degree is actually in poetry, but it certainly doesn't make me a poet! A writer is someone who writes--who always finds time to write--not someone with a degree. (less)

“Vanishing Point” (1971) stars a classic Dodge Challenger but is a drama, about how a man’s existential crisis plays out, masquerading as the best car-chase movie ever made. If you can find the UK theatrical release, watch that version imho

An unexpectedly touching gumshoe yarn that was easy to read but possessed great depth. On the one hand, it doesn't stray far from the hard-boiled recipe. On the other hand, it drifts as far as the protagonist's journey across the Pacific. A rewarding ...more
