Not much travel, but I definitely would go to the wizarding world. JK Rowling's books are amazing, and I would definitely want to be a part of her characters' lives. Learning magic at the schools, battling evil, encountering magical beasts... I'd also love to go to Middle Earth.

My To-Be-Read list is amazingly long, but at the very least, I want to read The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Raven Boys. I can't wait for it to be warm so that I can start sitting outside with a good book.

I can't pick a favorite couple, but I can identify what traits make up a favorite. They work well with each other, have great chemistry, make me laugh, make me hug the book and want to squeal because their romantic moments are so cute, they communicate, and they both see the best in each other.

Honestly? Sometimes ideas just smack me in the face (again, shower time is useful but sometimes inconvenient when I'm dripping wet naked and can't reach a notebook in time to write everything down). This was one of those times.

It could be anything that triggers my writing. Maybe I saw a movie or read a particularly wonderful book. Or maybe it's just when I had a conversation with myself in the shower (happens frequently). I find that even just going outside and for a walk can be very inspiring.

I'm editing a novel of mine called Dear Baby. Here's hoping it's a good one.

Write. Feeling bad? Write. Tired? Write. Angry? Write. Happy? Write. Busy? Write. Just do it. Give yourself at least twenty minutes a day to do nothing but write, whether it's the next great novel, a journal entry, a snippet of fanfic, or even an angry letter than you're never planning on sending. You want to write, then write. Pour it all out.

I have always created stories in my head. The best part of being a writer is putting them down on paper or on the screen of a computer and letting the world see it. It's sharing a piece of myself with another person.

When I'm not pacing around or eating my weight in junk food or banging my head against the pillow, I like to write fanfic or poetry. Something to just get the juices flowing. Also, music! Music is great. Reading and watching movies are equally great. It's important to be inspired by other people's work.
