Writing never feels like a chore to me, so it's not really something I need to become inspired for. Maybe that's because I often feel as though I never have enough time to write. So when I do have the opportunity, I embrace that time with gratitude . . . and really, gratitude alone is all the inspiration that's needed.

Honestly, I'm not convinced there is such a thing. As long as I can free my mind from the sometimes overwhelming things in life that can bog me down, I think there's always something to write about. I usually take a deep breath, say a prayer, and set my pen in motion. And then I try not to stop.

1. Never give up. If a story begs to be written. It must be. 2. Read every kind of book, including those on the writer's craft. 3. Be receptive to critiques-learn from them. 4. Revise until your pen runs dry. And when it does, go buy another and start again.

For my upcoming early reader series, The Tales of Buttercup Grove, I received the inspiration and idea while attending a Highlights workshop in Honesdale, PA. Highlights is truly a magical place.
