Typically, I'm inspired by issues that I see in the world, or by those issues that I hold dear to my heart. I can't help but write about those!

Right now, I am in the revision process for two more stories in the Culture Shaper Shorts Series. One is Pure Love: Amor Puro, and the other one is The Tale of Two Mothers. ... That last title may change again, though. :)

Write the story that's burning in your heart. Also, as part of your research, read stories from other author's that deal with the different aspects that you are writing into your own novel. I've found that it really helps to see how other writers crafted in some of the same elements that I want to put in mine. Then it's also wonderful to join a loving critique group. I'm a member of Word Weavers International, and I've found the critiques very helpful in my revision process, before my work goes to an editor.

The only way I can deal with writer's block is by writing every day. Unfortunately, I don't always take my own advice! :)
