    Cure for writer’s block: Blow something up (in the book).

    Scott-la, have you ever blown something up outside of a book? In general or specifically to cure writer’s block? 🙂

  3. I hope to see many of you Westerfeld commenters and readers over at the readergirlz blog and website. I look forward to discussing Leviathan with all of you!
