Writer's Block

I like to know the last sentence of a story and write toward it. I've struggled with writer's block for the better part of a year.

Publishing three books in a year was exhausting. Collaborating, scheduling, and making sure six months exactly was between each book was challenging, fulfilling, and draining. I wrote Sisu because several people asked me how to write a book. I wanted to provide a thoughtful response, discuss my deconstruction, and share some of the things writing led to.

I'm working on three different books. I have a strong preference to focus on one project at a time. I've been working six days a week. I'm seeing my son more. I'm taking more time to enjoy the moment. Life is stressful. Those things are all true. Have they become excuses? There will always be reasons to not do things.

I'm 42 years old -- dad died at 47. My uncle died at 37 -- his mom died at 35. Sink or swim. I'd better crack on.
