My fans and my publisher Coran Freeman. He told me to read my reviews and see how much the fans enjoyed my sub-characters. I planned a sequel but not at this time. However losing the four chapters to my novel "Blacker the Berry." took some steam out of me concerning that book. So I refocused and "Someone for Me Too" began to formulate in my mind.

I could say life or past histories, but that not all together true. I can honestly say it just comes to me. I have five books in my head. I know each one from the beginning to the end. It's just of matter of putting it on paper adding the filler.

I am on chapter eleven of "Someone for Me Too." and I will also pick back up on another novel I began in May 2015 which is "Blacker the Berry." I stopped Blacker the Berry because my computer crashed due to a virus and malware, which ate four chapter of the book. So while trying to rewrite, the character from Someone for Me took on a new life. Because the people are already developed, the story is basically writing itself.

Never give up! Believe in yourself and your dream. I was told by several publishers, no. I was told it would be good without the supernatural element. I was told my sub-characters were too strong. I was told to cut the sub-characters. But I knew Skye's sixth sense was important to who she was. I know Logan's mom, Yani would be able to help Skye gain power and confidence in her gift. I knew Randall was important for the humor and Tina for friendship and I stood my ground.

The one thing I love is fan who comment and review my book. The joy they received in reading it. Being able to tell a story and talk endlessly without someone saying, "I wish she'd shut up." is good too. But seriously it's sharing an idea and story with others. I became a writer because I fell in love with the way storytellers/Authors would weave a tale, and make you feel apart of the story line, to the point you could smell, see and taste whatever was being discussed. That's the kind of writer I want to be.

I never have writers block, because I have a constant dialog going on in my head with my characters. That's why I write to stop the chatter.
