I live in Greenwich, CT with my wife and two boys, 22 and 19. I graduated in 1991 with a degree in Creative Writing and a minor in Film Studies from Rhode Island College. I later earned my Masters of Business Administration from the University of Connecticut.

I’ve worked in Journalism, Marketing and Management Consulting for my career.

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

I'd probably spend a good month there before heading on over to Moria and then finishing up in Minas Tirith. If I couldn't get all the way to Tolkien's Middle earth, I'd also like to visit New Zealand where the movies were filmed.

Additionally, I'd love to travel to Peter Pan's Neverland, especially if I could fly like him. And, lastly, I'd also like to visit "A galaxy far, far away..."(less)

However, I would say to THINK about your story and/or your writing goals every day. Keep working through your plot, imagining the scenes that are giving you trouble and playing out dialog in your head. If you set aside your work, there's nothing wrong with taking a break. Just don't let the ideas get away.

Another tactic I take when I can't find the words to write is to reread what I've already written. This often inspires creativity, generates new ideas or clears my blockage, enabling me to progress forward in continuing my work.

Lastly, if all else fails, take the time off to edit your existing work or promote a previously published work. You can always take a break from the act of writing. Just don't put your thoughts or ideas on hold and try to do something productive toward your writing goals every day, whether it's writing, editing, rereading or just thinking it all through.(less)
