Write, write, write. Think about it like an athlete. It takes a lot of practice before you're ready to put your talent in front of an audience. If you feel the need to write, you must do it.

People inspire me. I want to understand why we do what we do, think what we think, feel what we feel. It's often an unanswered question about a person that pushes me to write something new.

I live in Kentucky where it's common to get tornado warnings in the spring. One evening when the tornado siren went off, my husband and I went into our cellar for safety. I thought about how I didn't want to lose my house. Then this character, Ava, came to me and said she wasn't sure she would mind so much if she lost her house. I had to write about her to find out who she was and what would make her think that.
