Creativity and Writer's block?
What is it that makes one person quite creative and another not at all? Does it involve being born with a creative gift?

The psychology of creativity has fascinated me for a long time, along with the obstacles people find to developing and using their creativity.
Is there a book or article inside you waiting to be written: a nonfiction or fiction book about your life, your career, your convictions, your memories? What's keeping your book hidden?

"Read Write! Write! Write! Or Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" (PDF), a short piece I wrote about my own struggles to write and send work out for publication.
