There are whole books written on this subject by people far better at it than I am, but it mainly boils down to one thing: write. The only way you get better is to keep doing it.

The idea for Whisper of Death came during a game of Rolemaster when a group of us were talking about Necromancers, and how difficult it must be for them to get a date (our gaming group had some weird conversations). I started considering what a Necromancer would have to do to impress a girl. It started as a short story where Erick agrees to kill a vampire if he can court one of the girls in the town. From there it just sort of developed.

Fortunately, this isn't too much of a problem most times. I may end up with writer's trickle, where the words don't flow like they should, but I don't often have a point where I can't write anything. If I do, I tend to switch to another project and try that, or just free write ideas.
