There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to my parents family history. They never really talk about their past and I know there are some juicy stories hidden there.

If I'm ever feeling stressed I usually will lose myself in a TV show. Watching sitcoms doesn't involve a lot of thinking so it's pretty relaxing.

When I'm stuck I try to write another part of the story and then go back to whatever I was stuck on. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood to write a certain scene so I have to skip it. It could take hours, days, or even weeks for me to go back to it.

The best thing about being a writer, by far, is the expression on people's faces when they read the story. I love seeing readers reactions when the whole time I knew exactly what was going to happen.

Keep writing. I struggled with English in school and was never the smart kid by any means, but here I am. If you're passionate about your story, finish it! Everyone has the ability to be creative but you need to keep up with it. Don't let other people's opinion get in the way of your dream.

Right now I'm almost done with the first draft of the second book, which is really fun but also confusing. It's fun because I've had the story in my head for almost a year now and I can finally start writing it out. The downfall of that is that while my minds on book two, everyone else's is on book one.

Music is a big part of my writing. If I'm not listening to the right song or score I'm not in the proper mind set for a scene.

I had this scene in my head that I couldn't get rid of. It turned out to be the Prologue of Tormented Soul and eventually when I started to write I just kept asking myself more questions which led to the creation of a trilogy.
