I have the opposite problem - too many ideas crowding into my head and interfering with my focus. Sometimes, however, I do get stuck with a particular project and run out of steam. I do several things to combat this: go for a long walk and think about the story, watch a documentary or movie related to the genre or era of the story, or simply read a great book.(less)

Quotes by Marjorie DeLuca  (?)

“She poisoned my life with a secret.
One that must be guarded with lies.
But I read once in a poetry book that a lie is but the truth in masquerade, so I am not afraid, for this past year I have survived by subterfuge and pretence.”
Marjorie DeLuca, The Savage Instinct

Margitte Thanks for the book recommendation, Majorie. It is actually a book I wanted to reread for such a long time. It is too many years since the first time :-) I have downloaded a copy of it just now.
