The teacher of How To Beat Writer's Block can't think of anything to write on her board.

Today I wrote nothing, which is actually better than yesterday because I deleted some words from a story draft, making my word count minus 500. Here's a joke I did instead of working on something new and a link to an article about blocks. mybookspage.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/w... #writing #author

A joke about a massive pile of books on a reading list.

A joke about a massive pile of books on a reading list.

Hi. I'm an avid reader - so here's a brief list of some novels I'm reading:

The Power of the Dog / Don Winslow
Streets of Darkness / AA Dhand
Close to Death / Anthony Horowitz
Shrines of Gaiety / Kate Atkinson
1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

(There are many more, but they'd exceed the character limit.)
