Susan Orlean on how she writes

The longtime New Yorker writer and The Orchid Thief author talks about how experience has given her more confidence, why it's important for most writers to have deadlines, and what to do when the words just stop coming: "If you’ve got writer’s block, you don’t have writer’s block. You have reporter’s block. You only are having trouble writing because you don’t actually yet know what you’re trying to say, and that usually means you don’t have enough information."
