If I could eat ONE last meal… I’d go for death by chocolate. Seriously.
Oddly enough, I’d pondered this question recently when it came up in a survey on Family Feud. I knew right away what I would do.
Forget the steak and lobster, burgers and fries, pizza and beer, etc. Give me chocolate suicide cake, Sacher torte, dark chocolate truffles, French-style hot chocolate that looks like molten cacao. Yummy. With luck I’d be in a hypoglycemic stupor when they strap me to the gurney.

My name is Linda McLaughlin and I’m a chocoholic. What’s your weakness? What would you want to gorge on if you could only have ONE last meal?

When I hit a writer’s block after my husband’s death, I took a class on Speed Writing. The instructor recommended a number of books, but the one that helped me get started again was The 8-Minute Writing Habit: Create a Consistent Writing Habit That Works With Your Busy Lifestyle (Growth Hacking For Storytellers #3) by Monica Leonelle. I tried the exercise where you commit to writing for no more than 8 minutes a day for 8 days. After the first few days, I was writing for 8 minutes plus an hour more. Once I got started it was easy to keep going until I finished the draft of my Western historical, Lily and the Gambler.
While I do recommend this method in getting a rough draft done, we all know that writing is re-writing, and once we’re in edit/revision mode, it’s no longer about putting words on the page so much as making those words shine. Alas this can be a longer process.
