I have been working on Elias in another story for a while off and on. I finally decided I needed to lay out the bones of his back story. That back story became "The Choice."

I go to author signing and chat with authors. Honestly, listening to someone who has made it, and is passionate about what they do is inspiring to me. When you can see someone writes because they love it, not just because it's successful it shows me what kind of author I yearn to be.

I am editing my book "The Dark Below" which I am going to sell traditionally. I am also working on a short called "The Black Oak" which will be in the Kindle Bookstore in May. I have another book I'm working on called "Grimmack the Goblin," which will probably hit the Kindle Book store by the end of the year.

It's the same thing you hear constantly. Make yourself keep writing, and write as consistantly as possible. The best way to never get to the point of publishing it just to write when you feel like it.

You decided on your limits. If you want to write about real life, fantasy, horror, or anything else your the one who decides. No one gets to tell you what the world in your head should be doing.

Normally I'll just swap projects for a bit. I am normally working on one or two things at a time. If I feel totally blocked on all my writing, I ask myself why? Normally it's because I'm letting myself be distracted by things I shouldn't. So I'll turn off the WiFi on my laptop and make myself buckle down.
