Perhaps because I've been in the academic-year mindset for decades now, I've designated September as my personal health care month, a sort of back-to-school for my body. Already, I've been to the dentist, my family doctor, and my optometrist. I've had my flu shot. My yearly blood work and...

It has been a while since I got back in the game. Moved to a new state and city. Left New York to go down south where the sun shined and people were more friendly. I was depressed for a time and couldn't find the right groove. Writers block was more like a huge stone wall with a moat around it....

The first time I heard about writer's block, I loved it. Imagine writers living together and occupying an entire block. I just loved the idea. Then I learned what it was, and my bubbles went burst. Writing, for me, is like opening a door. And writer's block is what happens when I try to open...

Stuck! That's what describes where I am. I'm at a part in my story that has me flustered. Where to go from here? How do I tie everything together? I'm writing from two different perspectives, and two different times - past and present. I'm at a point where things seem jumbled and I'm not sure how...
