Writer's Block

About this ebook
When a successful author goes to a psychiatrist for help in overcoming a severe case of writer's block, the latter, who is a fan of his, is more interested in discussing the plots of his novels than solving his problem. By the end of this weird, if not absurd, session, however, the writer comes up with ideas for two books and hurries off to put them down on paper.
T. J. Robertson
Although I’ve made my living as a teacher and guidance counselor, I’ve always had a passion for writing. Thomas Bouregy and Company published my novel, Return to Paradise Cove, under their Avalon imprint. Two of my one-act plays, A Different Kind of Death, and The Flirt, have been produced, respectively, in New Haven, Connecticut, and Sacramento, California. Short stories of mine have appeared in commercial magazines such as Action and True Romance as well as in certain literary and professional ones.
