Writer's block is truly awful, I've experienced it several times and it's the most frustrating thing. There's one thing I've tried numerous times and it seems to work so it's now my go to solution. I live in North Yorkshire so if the Writer's block attacks then I'll go for a nice long walk, stick my phone to record and chatter to myself about whatever I'm writing. I don't know if it's being away from the judgemental computer screen or simply the fresh air but my mind clears and suddenly the words flow.

I think the best thing for me is being able to share my stories with the world. I've always had a bit of an imagination (understatement) and I love stepping inside the worlds I create. It's great to finally let other people join me and step into those same worlds. I like the thought of taking people on an adventure and hopefully they'll enjoy it as much as I have.

It's weird but once I've got an idea in my head all I want to do is get it down on paper. I'm not sure there's anything specifically that inspires me, I just love to write. It does take me about twenty minutes to get in the right frame of mind though so I'm always a bit wary about what I write first. It's a good job editing exists!

I'm currently working on another fantasy book. It's not set in the same world as Forgotten Magic but there's still magic in it. I don't want to give too much away since it's still in the early stages but I'm really excited about it and I can't wait to share it with you all.
