I get inspiration from everything - I mean even the smallest thing could be inspiration for a new chapter - dont let anything limit your inspiration as its the biggest tool a writer has

Currently I have a few projects the main one is the first sequel to "The Rents" but there are others that I will announce in time

The best thing I can advise potential writers is let your imagination guide you but make sure you keep it real enough for others to believe it when they are reading your story - unless its a fantasy, in that case just go wild

The best thing? I think its the thrill of being able to escape the real world into a world that I have built myself - a world that I hope others will enjoy as they read my stories
