I updated twice today and I also updated yesterday with my writing goals for 2012. I also finally published "La Demon Royale," which became a short story because one of my characters had no motivation.

An embarrassingly Spongebob inspired post on this subject, it's my third post on Writer's Block--Write or Die (we all know this one)

http://readingandwritingwithme.wordp...il-make-words/

This is the third in a five-part series on writer's block
