"A Silent Soliloquy" came from a combination of existing short stories and one question: "If someone could not communicate or control the body they reside in, how would they cope with that? How would they try to relate to the world?" It all came together in a bizarre way, but once the threads started to come together, I had no choice but to write it.

Various things inspire me. Books, movies, music, people, dreams. Anything, really. As a writer, I feel like I should be open to inspiration in whatever form it presents itself.

Now that I've set up "A Silent Soliloquy" for publication, I'm working on two projects. One of them is a short story compilation, and the other is a young adult sci-fi novel.

Don't give up. There are times when you'll feel frustrated. You'll face plenty of rejection. If you want to be a writer, you have to keep going through all of that.

I don't get to just live in one world. I get to create and visit lots of them. That's an exciting thing.

I usually use a random word generator to get ideas flowing, and sometimes I'll go through my folder of abandoned projects to see if I can find any usable ideas there.
