I walk my dogs, go for a hike, go for a drive, or just try to write from a different room in the house (I use a portable laptop). If I'm really stuck it's usually because there is something wrong with the story. I then ask myself a few questions: Are the characters or the story too predictable? Is there a loose thread I've left hanging? Is there something I've tried to fudge, something awkward that is now coming back to haunt me? Writer's block is never fun but it does force you to really wrestle with the material, and keeps you from being a lazy writer.(less)

There are so many things that are fantastic about this "job," but the main thing for me is that it barely even feels like a job. I love being creative with words, I love telling stories to both entertain and edify, but most of all I love making a difference in the lives of young people. I've gotten lots of fan mail from kids who have read my books. The enthusiasm they express, the joy and excitement I've brought to them, that's the sweet spot.(less)

People I Love Who Hate Fiction

...could describe several members of my family. Well, let me rephrase that, because "hate" is such a strong word. Substitute "don't care for," or "dislike," but it comes down to the same thing; I have close family members who have not read even one of my books. It took me awhile to realize this, but not everyone loves to read fiction, even good fiction. It could be the most profound, the most ente Read more of this blog post »
