I am working on the next book on the Cybersampa series, called The Murder of the Pro Gamer, my cyberpunk take on the world of eSports. Coming June 2016.

Well, I do consider myself an aspiring writer myself, all I can do is replicate the advice of more experienced writers. The one I like the most is from Neil Gaiman. Basically it is: 1. Write. 2. Finish what you write. 3. Write again.

I don't believe in writer's block either, at least not in the way it is usually portrayed. Writer's block for me happens when we are afraid to write something stupid, when our expectation of what we want to write doesn't live up to the reality of it. The limitations of our style and intelligence are laid bare. We are not as good as we thought or wish we were. The antidote? Hammer into your head that you can only do your best and nothing more.

I don't believe in inspiration, really, but rather in work. This "waiting for the muse" thing is not for me. Don't get me wrong, I love it when inspiration comes, but I try not to depend on it. I just sit down and crack my head on the keyboard until the text comes out.
