John grew up in Spain, got a chemical engineering degree from MIT then moved to NYC and fell in love. My career has been in management consulting, eventually leading me to my current job doing business development for the Associated Press.

I am fascinated by NYC history, NYC buildings, NYC people, NYC culture and NYC. I do lots of photography (http://instagram.com/johndeguzman) and musical improv.

There's one solution for writer's block for me... sit down. Stare at the computer.

Really, when you're writing a book, there is so much to think of. You might be blocked with writing, but that doesn't mean you can't edit or rewrite. I don't have an outline when I start writing, so if the story's not flowing for me, I'll force myself to go back and edit what's already there--whether it's fine tuning a character's voice or better defining the book's setting.

Basically, I have a militaristic approach to writing and the second the story stops flowing, I dive back into the project and re-invest.(less)
