When I have trouble writing, I step outside my studio into the garden
\nand pull weeds until my mind clears\u2014I find weeding to be the best

\nsometimes 40. Once, I played for three straight days. The important thing is not to leave the workplace.
\n\u2014Richard Condon<\/p>\n
Never rely on shopping as a cure for writer\u2019s block and\/or depression.
