Never stop writing. If you have a story, tell it. Jump over all of the naysayers and obstacles in your way. Do not take an eye off of your goal, even for a second. And keep going.

Deadlines, forced inspiration, and waking up very early in the morning with the one goal of just writing are very powerful methods indeed.

The best thing about being a writer is having the ability to give voice to the stories in your head, whether it's done well or not. It clears up space for other things, and inevitably, more stories.

My ideas stem from very odd places, and my method is backwards from that of most writers. I think of a title, whether it be a single word or a unique phrase that just sounds enticing, and then I outline the book based on the title. Is that weird? Probably. But it works for me, and I honestly love it. It allows for the title to tie in to the book in whichever way possible. When it comes to my current book, I was thinking of alliteration for the letter "c," (an author's idea of fun), when two words stuck themselves together and created the title for this piece. I haven't revealed the title or cover yet, so I can't tell you what it is ;)

My main project right now is a young adult novel that I am really passionate about and excited to release to the world!

I take a trip to the bookstore or library and walk along the shelves, immersing myself in the literary world. I look at all the gorgeous covers, feel the spines of the books, read all the descriptions, etc. I then think to myself, "Man, wouldn't it be great if you had even more of your books in places like these?" That usually does the trick for me, and I'm eager to get back home and start writing again.
