How do you deal with writer’s block?

I keep to my scheduled time of writing and if I’m not working on my book, I blog, I work on short stories, or plot out something I’m already working on. I have lots of ideas. Just because I’m not putting them down on paper doesn’t mean I’m working. Playing out scenarios in my head helps later when I sit down at the keyboard. Steven King says something like just suck it up and do it. You want to be professional? You have to act professional. “Sorry, boss, I don’t feel like doing that today,” will get you where? I go to a number of writing circles, and they offer that you pick a number of words you could write in a day, say 200 words. You ask yourself with the worst day you could image (dog dying, cat eats the fish, kid breaks leg, flat tire, etc.) could you write 200 words? 200? Sure? Set that as a goal and stick to it. It exercise for the mind, and like other exercises for it to have an effect, you need to keep at it. Write? RIGHT!(less)

Reality Stranger than Fiction

What your opinion is about the afterlife or paranormal? As a writer I am drawn to it as another facet of the one’s lifespan, what happens when you die? Where does your energy go? What can you do with it?

Kim and I spend the weekends binge watching Ghost Adventures. It was about February of this year (2021) that she noticed the sound of my piano keyboard tinkling in the early mornings before I aw
