I don't believe in writer's block. There are good days when you're writing and less good days. I've learned that if it's not happening to walk away and return later. I doodle a lot and often get my best ideas with a pencil in my hand while I'm doodling. The problem is, sometimes I lose my doodles and that's bad!
I wanted to write what I remembered to be true.
It's all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but it's that determination.
The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers.
It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written.
