Lawrence Wright
If I can't write at all, I'll go for a run, which is always a good way to engage discursive thoughts. Often I'll get an idea within a hundred yards. If that doesn't work, I go back and make myself think and fumble forward until I finally get something on paper, even if it stinks. It's always harder to start the next morning with a knot you couldn't solve the night before.

The Looming Tower is a hard-hitting (sort of) expose on internal politics at CIA and FBI. It also describes in detail how America has been meddling into the Middle Eastern internal and foreign affairs. Were you ever threatened by the Governments of any of the countries? Will you ever write about that?
