What is your method for overcoming writer’s block?
Write one page upon arising. Only coffee permitted. Stop writing when page is completed, even if it's in the middle of a hyphenated word.
What are your favorite or most helpful writing prompts?
An outline! Carefully prepared, so things planted early pay off later. And write character sketches if you're embarked on a novel.
What is the most valuable advice you received as a young writer?
Read. Read, read, read. READ. The best guide to writing I know is John Gardner's The Art of Fiction. It sure helped me!
