Oh, thank you 🙂 I actually do, yes. A few people have asked about that this week, so it's definitely going on the list of things to write. I have zero idea when yet, but I have started playing with cover ideas!
Elizabeth Stevens
Yes! At the moment, I have five planned books in the series with room for more. I just need to find time to write them :) I'm hoping I can get to book 2 soon though.
Elizabeth Stevens
Naw, shucks!! Thanks so much yourself for loving it. There will hopefully (fingers crossed) be some news coming soon about it so keep your eyes peeled xx

Hi! Sorry, I only just saw this - notifications are obvs set properly :P. KUA shouldn't be down. Where were you trying to buy it?
Elizabeth Stevens
I don't have it very often and it's 99% caused by a crisis in self-confidence. So, the best thing for me is to take a break (a day, a week, a month), read a book, watch a movie/TV, spend time with friends/family and just renew my faith in myself, then get back to it. Sometimes, that story has just stalled for a bit and then I work on another.

Getting the ideas out of my head :) But, seriously, I think for me it's probably the excitement of a new idea, of getting it down, then of printing out the first draft and going "wow, I did that". The editing process is less delightful.

Read widely and often. Network as best you can. Learn everything you can - that one's important, never stop learning. And, most importantly, don't stop (believing!) writing, never stop writing. Believe in yourself.

More YA :) One is a girl-power adventure story, and the other is a bit 'The Mortal Instruments' meets 'Harry Potter' with elves.
Elizabeth Stevens
It varies. Sometimes (most of the time), I just need to write. Sometimes, meeting with my writers' group inspires me. Sometimes, editing other people's work gets my head churning - all that thinking about structure and grammar, and seeing someone else's success makes me want to work on more of my own. And, sometimes, I just have to force myself to get going because I know it won't get done otherwise.

I read too much and watch way too much, and this idea just popped into my head while I was trying to sleep (then kept me up all night). I'm working on it furiously, but am a bit concerned it will be too similar to the works that inspired it. I'll just have to wait and see what the end product looks like! :)
