I have a rebellious nature, and I don't like it when people try to restrict me to what I can and can't do, how it should or shouldn't be, etc. It's a struggle I deal with in everyday life and especially college. In my writing, I don't have that. I have no restrictions. It's entirely my world, and I can do whatever I want.
I do keep in mind that there are guidelines to what works and doesn't work.

I have an entire world in my head that is clawing at my brain to be let out, so I always have inspiration to write. Often times, I'm in a situation where I can't write, and it drives me crazy.

My entire life I have struggled to fall asleep. I can't turn my brain off, and I will lie in bed for an hour or so thinking about the day, tomorrow, and all the things I need to do, stress about, and so on. It's been known to keep me awake all night. So I taught myself to distract my mind by writing stories in my head. I would create characters and a completely original story or sometimes fanfiction, all in my head at night. I would fall asleep doing that. It was the only thing that worked. I've been doing this since early childhood.
In early April 2014 I was doing just that, but instead of falling asleep, I stayed awake all night writing a story in my head. The next day I started jotting it down and my excitement grew as I realized I had created what could be an amazing story.
The Magicis Chronicles was born out of my attempt to lull myself to sleep.

I am currently working on Tears of Synder, which is the second novel in the Magicis Chronicles.

Thankfully, I've never suffered from writer's block. I have the opposite problem. I have too much in my head that' trying to come out at once.
