Have you ever experienced author's block? And if yes, how do you cope up with it?
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Alyssa,
I really haven't been afflicted with author's block. Yes, I do get stuck from time to time, but generally I figure out what to do in a few hours time. My technique is to take a walk and talk aloud through the problem I'm having. There is something about engaging the verbal center of my brain that helps me to puzzle it out. I feel bad for those people who are deep in author's block. I'm sure it's a terrible thing...and for those who have, don't hate me because I haven't. I'm not sure why it is, but I'm glad that I've lucked out in that regard.

Was Royce and Hadrian's jump into the river in The Crown Tower a nod to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? I think I read in Q&A that Royce and Hadrian were somewhat influenced by Butch and Sundance. When I read the river scene in The Crown Tower, I couldn't help but think of when Butch and Sundance were in a similar situation. Thanks!
