Writer's Block

Writer's Block

*

For some, the term "career" conjures images of toil and retirement. For others, it means a lifetime of expressing their creativity. In this issue's feature, Managing Editor Dalya Goldberger speaks with three Hallmark greeting card writers and the Head Writer at The Onion, and discovers what it takes to write in these uniquely creative environments. Writer's Block has a fresh set of themes and topics for 2000.
