They entered the MP guard shack to get passes to go on base. Not liking the rejection and manner, an explosive wrapped in paper was dropped into a trash can on the way out.

I leave and go do something else. Writing can be demanding, and our brains need a rest sometimes. Writer's block can let me reorganize ideas, including adding new ones. But, leaving the scene is a wise move. I think our brain is telling us to stop.

Solitude to express myself, including fleeting thoughts that I write down or record, and just being me.

Become involved with writing groups. Getting involved in person is helpful. You actually meet writers. Read books about writing.

My fourth spy novel, Spy Determination - Book 4. It is still not finished (09/23/2017) because I'm involved in marketing. This is something new to me as an author. It requires learning how to reach people, whether it's connected to social media, platform building, or just posting on Facebook or Twitter. It's been a learning challenge. The writing is much more fun & forgiving; to let me make corrections.

I write ideas that come to mind. In my situation, I am interested in national and international affairs. I wanted to share an idea. I want to express myself in words that can interest others (readers), and hopefully do it in an effective, different way that will be enjoyed.

My fourth spy novel, is part of a series, Spy Determination - Book (1, 2, 3. and 4.) I am writing the fourth one currently.
My ideas come from personal involvement with military intelligence when I was in the US Army. I apply the experience and knowledge I learned then to what is happening in the Middle East. I have kept up with current events for years. Instead of adding another novel about the Soviet Union, I wanted to keep current and write about today. My ideas are fictional, but I merged then with realities that take place today. However, I have not included a lot of killing in my books. Why? Because contemporary espionage is a tricky game that let's either a protagonist or an antagonist use their determination to win.
