There are a number of other ways in which I deal with it; I have a blog, a LiveJournal, as well as a writing diary that I update daily. I think I have been fortunate in that I have not suffered from writer's block as much as most people. It tends to happen in the beginning of the story, when I am still fleshing out ideas.(less)

On Life and Lit

There was an article today in the Atlantic written by a guy who hopes he passes away at 75. This, he argues, means that he won鈥檛 be a burden on his family or society.
