When it becomes difficult, I have to put more thought into what I am writing. And since what I write can be rewritten, or even deleted, the point is that I have been able to work through the block. I might add that sometimes a person is simply physically or mentally exhausted, and perhaps it might be wise to skip a day from writing to get recharged. (less)

Back to the Keyboard

 It's been quite a while since I've posted something here. My apology. 

I could use the excuse that sometimes life gets in the way, but that would be a cop-out. A writer should write, regardless. I have been writing, but not on this platform since last May.

First, I had the sixth book in my John Ross Boomer Lit series, Cradle of Conflict , published on Dec. 1. Anyone who has written a book kn Read more of this blog post »

Michael Thanks, Lara. Actually, there are several authors out there such as Richard Ford and Anne Tyler. But I hope that readers of all adult ages can relate to my "boomer lit" novels.
