Mary Higgins Clark, whose books are world-wide bestsellers, has excellent advice for writers who are just getting started.  After sales of more than 100 million copies of her books in the United States alone, Clark has written enough to know a thing or two about how a writer might get past the sometimes crippling impasse of not knowing what on Earth to write about.

Her first published book was a biographical novel about George Washington.  This is remarkable since she has written nearly 29 suspense books throughout her illustrious career.  In addition to some holiday  novels and a few children’s books, Clark is a versatile author who continues to perfect her art and craft, and doesn’t mind sharing advice with people who find the writing process flustering.

Here is a video interview with Mary Higgins Clark, in which she relates some practical ways to get started writing a book.
