How do you deal with writer’s block?

Perhaps the original ending I had before I began the story no longer fits, leaving me unsure of how to get to any ending, let alone the one I'm about to discard. If that happens I'll easily abandon the book for a while and jump to something else.

Eventually I'll return to the unfinished draft. I'll go back a couple of chapters and find the point where the story started to head towards total crapdom. From that point I will try and take the book in a new direction. As soon as I get to the end I can go back and make it look as though this direction was the plan all along.(less)

Something stupid happened

Yes, I promised Raike 6 would be out in January, and here we are in May and it’s still not out yet.

What happened? I crashed from exhaustion. And not the Hollywood version of exhaustion where I end up in rehab. I just had a lot on my plate and was met with a great ‘ugh’ when it came to the final tweaks of Raike 6. And I am awesome at giving myself excuses. Even while I’m at work (doing something I Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Jackson Lear (?)

“I hate to break this to you, but if you spend all your time on protection detail for a high ranking family and you help to make a lot of their problems go away by eliminating the person responsible, you’re an assassin.”

“I can see why so many lawyers throw themselves into the river. With all of this fabric weighing them down they’ll sink straight to the bottom.”

Alysia sent me an unimpressed look. “I’m a lawyer, you know?”

“Then you probably know a few jokes at your own expense.”
