When I hit a wall, I'll typically go back a few chapters or maybe even to the beginning of my manuscript and start reading. As I read, edit, and often add to what I've already written, the ideas usually flow freely and I'm back on course. Also, I keep notes on my phone with ideas. So no matter where I am or what I am doing, if I think of something, hear something, or see something that stimulates ideas, I can memorialize it for later. These notes are great to review when the writer's block strikes.

I can't get enough of your dialogue between Dickie and Floyd. It's so real! I could read a whole book of just the two of them talking as they drive up and down the streets of Los Angeles. Is there a Floyd in your life, and, if so, are you paying him half of your royalties?
