Thank you so much. I am in the process of writing A Chance to Be Normal Too. I hope to have it finished by April 2019.

I was inspired to write this book after reflecting on my own life in school being bullied. At some points, I just wanted to fit in with all the cool kids, but that just wasn't who I was...
Bullying is still a big issue in our schools and children are finding it harder to get the help they need and a positive outlet dealing with the sadness and anger that comes with being bullied

I get inspired to write after I get a brainstorm of a certain chapter or event that I want to happen comes to me. After that, it's just a matter of letting loose of what's on the inside by typing.

Be consistent! In order to be an effective writer, you have to believe in what you are writing about. Celebrate every accomplishment and use all negative feedback as an opportunity to improve your writing even if you don’t agree with the feedback. Never give up! Do not judge your success as a writer by how much money you have made, but the hearts you touch. Whether your book or writings reaches the world or one person, be proud of your work.

The best thing about being a writer is being able to express myself. Writing allows me to get the things that are on the inside of me out. I get to share my feelings and most importantly I get to share what God has shared with me. Also, I have started to write my next novel and I am excited about being able to use my imagination as well as share some true to life stories. As for me I pray that all my writings and all my stories will bless someone else and that they will be able to release there pressure through the pleasures of reading.

For me writers block has a lot to do with motivation. From time to time I just didn't feel like writing. However, what motivated me to finish my book was my focus on the end result. I wanted to get this book finished so that I could help people come out of their own personal hardships. With that in mind I tried to write early in the mornings and late in the evening before any event in the day could distract me. Having a special time for writing will help overcome writers block. If you are inspired by quiet time then set a time to write when it is quiet. if you are inspired by the sound of noises or other people then getting to that surrounding may spark those creative thoughts.
