(view spoiler)[I write. About anything, about how I feel. About an idea. Keeping a journal is very useful for me. I actually don't believe in writer's block. If you're passionate about your message, and you take the time to sit down and write, the block quickly disappears. Sometimes, however, I need to step back and take some time to think about what inspires me, what I'm passionate about. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I love the freedom of it; that I can write from anywhere, anytime. I actually love everything about writing. To me, it's like therapy. I put down my thoughts every day in my journal. And if I'm lucky, it becomes a book. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Follow your heart, and follow your passion. I know it's a cliché, but I don't believe we can write well about something we're not fully into. It also makes the process of writing so much more fun. Also, I would like to quote my friend and mentor, Bonnie Hearn Hill, who taught me the expression, "Butt in chair." By that she meant that you have to actually take the time to sit down and write. A writers writes. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Do you remember where you were and what you were doing on 9-11? I think we all do. The same is true for me when I think of July 22, 2011. That was the day 32-year old Anders Breivik blew up the government building in Oslo, got away, and drove to the island of Utøya, where he shot and killed 69 people, most of them teenagers. Breivik killed 77 people that day. This event shocked me into searching for answers as to how a seemingly normal young man can turn into a mass murderer. My research became my book THE MYSTERY OF THE LONE WOLF KILLER. (hide spoiler)]
