Writer's Block
Some writers believe in writer’s block while others say it’s simply poor planning. I don’t like planning every scene in advance of writing it. I’ve found that what works best for me is to ‘get’ the characters, let them lead, and then do some brainstorming when they start doing a little jig or run me into a brick wall.
Right now, though, I’m not connecting with my characters and my brainstorming sessions have resulted in drizzle.
Should I back off the story – move to something else? I’m afraid if I do that I will have a hard time finding my way back.
So where do I go from here? Continue to sit watching a blank screen? Beat my head against my desk until the pain produces something brilliant? Sit down with the characters and have a little therapeutic session? Force my brain to produce ideas that will most likely be crap (because it’s forced)?
One hundred eighteen pages in and I’m stuck.

Friends of Falun Gong
"Friends of Falun Gong USA (FoFG USA) is a U.S.-based, nonprofit human rights organization founded in the year 2000 by Americans concerned about the persecution of Falun Gong. Our mission is to support the freedom of belief of persons who practice Falun Gong, to stop the persecution, and to bring to justice those who have perpetrated human rights crimes targeting Falun Gong practitioners. FoFG's efforts include large-scale rallies in Washington DC, lawsuits against the architects of the persecution, and smaller, targeted projects counteracting the Chinese government’s massive propaganda campaign."

Suck it
Yeah, I know. I suck. But I've had a lot going on these past few weeks and well, you know. Love this quote:
"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing."
--Benjamin Franklin
