"When I'm feeling all pressured and blocked I take out photo albums from my childhood. Revisiting those images of me as a 3-year-old with a dripping ice cream cone or being chased by my cocker spaniel put me back in touch with sounds, smells and feelings that I simply can't access as a so-called adult".

"Writer's block, I wish! I write exposes on current events, and never need to look further than my web browser for inspiration. I focus on a story that interests me, and then I look at the "bad guy", and delve into what his side may be. Putting myself in someone else's shoes, especially someone I find particularly vile, is always enlightening."
