Hi Laurie, What do you do when you seem to hit a roadblock in writing? Also, what is your favorite book? P.S. I love Speak!
Laurie Halse Anderson
My favorite book is American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. I also adore Longbourn, by Jo Baker.
When I hit a roadblock, it's time to step away from my preconceived ideas or outline for the book, and let my imagination run wild.

Hello, Mrs. Anderson. I work with Pegasus Publishing House in Turkey and I am currently translating your novel, 'The Impossible Knife of Memory' into Turkish. I wanted to introduce myself and I was wondering if I could pick your brains when I come across some hard to translate words or ambiguities. I will go ahead and leave my e-mail address here: duygu.ozcan@ymail.com hoping to get an e-mail from you! :) ?
