I'm not quite sure yet since my TBR pile is over 30 books at this point and not getting any smaller any time soon.

I suppose the short answer is being able to empty out my thoughts onto a page to make room for new ones.

Music I would say is my biggest inspiration when it comes to writing. Sometimes it can be something as minor as hearing a few chords which ignite an idea.

The idea for my most recent book, Q-16 and the Lord of the Unfinished Tower spawned partially out of a Polish legend about two brothers who were both building towers for the Church of St. Mary's in Krakow. When one of the brothers was starting to get ahead of the other, lets just say things went south for him when the latter became jealous.

I suffer more so from forks in the road vs. writers block but on the rare occasion that it does happen I just give myself a change of scenery. Going for a run I find helps or just exercise in general because when I'm doing that I'm forced to focus on something else, allowing my mind to relax and more often than not, that's enough to get the imagination going again.

Just write! Even if you start off with just a few words. There's no shame to beginning off slow. Rome was not built in a day as they say.

Currently I'm working on the next book in the Q-16 series.
