My most recent book was Szejna's Revenge, the sequel to Gailene's Vow, so book 2 of the Original Blood series. I had planned to write a separate book for each of the characters in the first book, so that's how I began the second book.
My most recent writing project though, was the script for Night Kill, the movie I'm working on now. I had the original idea while driving through the desert in Wyoming at night. The road is so straight for so many miles, you can turn your lights out and it's like being in a spaceship. So that's how my movie starts, more or less. Only it's in Thailand.

Listen first, write second. Stories are about people (unless they're about animals or inanimate objects), so it's a pretty good idea to understand people before you can write about them. Read a lot. Write a lot. Rewrite even more. But don't rewrite while you write, unless you're me, and you're not. Don't take it personally if no one gives a rat's a** about whatever it is you write. What the heck do they know. Basically, a writer writes because they're compelled by unknown forces. If you're not, if you'd just as soon go cow-tipping with you yahoo homeboys, then writing's not really your thing. Unless you tippin' cows so you can write about it.

I promise myself cheesecake and root beer, but not at the same time, because they fizz.
