Write something everyday, even if it is a note in your personal diary, or a remark you heard someone saw. It will keep you in the habit of writing and you will begin to accumulate a lot of material, some of which can be turned into a plot, or a scene or a description.

I am editing and adding pages to Secrets, the book that follows The Truth. In it the girl is a year older and somewhat wiser. She also faces all sorts of difficulties that are new for her. And she is in love with a different boy!

I got the idea from myself, remembering my own promises to myself that I made when I was a kid. I saw a lot of stuff that grown-ups didn't seem to see anymore. And then as a psychologist working with children I saw that kids really do see a lot and sit on so many emotions, longings and wishes. So the 'girl' was created to talk for all of us that once were kids.
