I'm actually writing through most of this summer. And the majority of the books I read would make most people nod off. Most of them cluster around research. But this one will suck you in: 'From the Forest: A Search for the Hidden Roots of our Fairy Tales' by Sara Maitland. That, and about a half dozen books on Ancient Egypt. What are you reading?

For short visits (since health concerns would make long ones impossible)? I would like to go to the Mirkwood and hang out with the Sylvan elves and their King -- visit Rivendell and Lothlorian with them.

This is best left to a flash-fictioner, yeah? How about:
I admired my smiling face in the mirror -- a red grin and large, dark, luminous eyes locked on my face. It was beautiful enough to be deadly... given I wasn't smiling.

I deal with it by letting my creative juices recharge a little while I do artwork and create paintings. You can see them over at tracyeire.artsy.tips. It's a great way to unwind from writing and build up those internal resources again!

The best thing about being a writer is building these rich, lush worlds to live in, or so I think!

Commit. There will be a line-up of the usual suspects telling you that you can't write. Be sure to be thoroughly on your own side and keep writing. Writing is the #1 goal. Improvement falls out of that effort!

I'm currently working on Cardinal Machines book 6!

I don't rely so much on inspiration as preparation, really. BUT... good music helps!

I'd had the idea for the gutsy girl sleuth in my Cardinal Machines series for years, but... there was something missing! It turned out that was the C001-Oisín (the prototype custom Ocean) android that turns Cardinal Machines into a near-future science fiction. It hit me during a friend's Twitch gaming livestream. From there, the first book came together (at long last) in no time!
