Cry. Go for a walk. Cry some more. Read.

LOL. Honestly, it's a rare day when I can't write ANYTHING, but there are plenty of days when things aren't going well: dialog sounds stupid, narrative seems stilted, the plot suddenly seems illogical. When that happens, I try to give myself a break and do something else while my brain figures out what the problem is. If all else fails, I force my husband to listen while I tell him the story. Having to explain it to someone else often points out where the weaknesses are.(less)

That's hard to say. There are lots of things I love about it: creating something new, meeting new characters, figuring out the twists and turns in a new plot, working from home. If I had to pick just one thing, though, it would probably be doing research.

For me, part of the fun of reading a book is learning something new and I appreciate it when an author gets the details right. It's not unusual for me to spend hours researching something that may end up being only a small detail in the final book, but which lends the whole work authenticity. In many cases, it opens up a whole new world for both me and my readers. (less)

Just Another Missing Person by Gillian McAllister
"I'm not a fan of police procedurals, but since this was a BOTM selection last month, I decided it might be worth a shot. Well, unfortunately, at about halfway through (200 pages), this book is way too procedural for me, and in other words way too SLO" Read more of this review »

"Actually, I DID NOT finish this book (life’s too short.)
Very, very confusing story!! Way too many characters to keep straight. I gave it to page 236 and thought I don’t give a damn how this mess ends. Good luck!"

This is the first book by Riley Sager that I've read, and I suspect it's going to be the last. It started out as a straight-up mystery: lots of fun, plenty of twists. Then, about two-thirds of the way through, it suddenly turned into a supernatural h ...more

Christopher Hitchens
“This need to know things at the level of basic experience, and the reluctance to be fobbed off by the official story or the popular rumor, was a part of the “infinite capacity for taking pains” that Thomas Carlyle once described as the constituent of genius.”
Christopher Hitchens, And Yet ...: Essays

Christopher Hitchens
“he despised the alternative flow of information and insight, which was gossip and rumor. Like Winston Smith, he was first and foremost activated by a raging thirst to know: a thirst that could only be slaked by a personal quest for the least varnished version of the truth.”
