She sat up suddenly, dragging oxygen into her lungs. Was it true she had done nothing in the last thirty years, or was that just a dream?

I read a historical book about the Barbary Pirates and the horrible lives that their captives lived afterwards.

Take a walk, read a book.

Working on the cover for my next book and also writing three other books. I need to hunker down and concentrate on one and then the other, so I decided to finish editing the one I have completely finished before finishing the other two. Coffee Stains is about a girl deciding to get what she wants, no matter it means taking on another woman's identity to do it. As luck would have it a man from her past comes along and she must decide what is worth more, living for the truth or continuing on in her lie.

I used to go by inspiration or having the perfect atmosphere, now I realize that treating writing like work is best. Set the timer and don't get up until it goes off. Perhaps I will end up deleting most of what I write, but at least I wrote something! To me, that is the most important. For the book I have coming out in just a few months I ended up deleting half of it! I wrote so much, but it was such a great learning process. The first, second, third drafts are not perfect.
