Writer’s Block. Those dreaded words no writer likes to hear. We sympathize with those who have it, we look for support when we’ve got it ourselves. It seems like writer’s block is inevitable, but here are three things I use to help myself when I’ve got it – and hopefully…

Writing to Music
Nothing beats writing to a good soundtrack. Great songs have gotten me through the worst days of my life, and have complimented some of my best moments. I might carry a pen and notebook with me almost everywhere, but I am absolutely addicted to my iPod. I have a ridiculous…
You Can’t Appreciate a Book as an E-Book
