Just write. If you want to do it, do it. No, it won't be perfect the first time or the second time or probably the third time, but you will be on the right track. Writing is not hard, the hard part is getting up the courage to actually do it and stick with it. If I can do it, anyone can!

I watched a scary movie named The Conjuring with my family one night. It was literally the scariest movie I have watched in my entire adult life (because you know scary movies are different when you are younger). Anyway, after that I was paranoid around my house and I kept having scary dreams. The last scary dream I had was about the devil visiting me and him wanting me to do something for him. Till this day I don't know what he wanted, but it sparked an idea in my head. I started to think what if there was this person that was like this or like that. The brainstorming began and I had just had to write it down. A year and a half later WFTB was done.

I think my fans play a big part in this. Questions about the next story or would be scenarios in the story inspire to write and please my fans. Sometimes I will just be going about my day like normal and I will get an idea from my surroundings that will inspire me to write.

I am currently working on book 2 in The Chronicles of A.C. I also have several other spinoffs of this series that I am working on such as The Candor Witches and Supernatural Therapist.

I think the best thing is being able to share your story with others. Yeah, I have these characters and this story in my head but it's the readers that give them life. It is an awesome feeling when a reader relates to your characters or loves your characters just as much as you.

I step away from my story for a few days and think about where I want my story to go. I plot it out in my head and then usually within a few days things get rolling. Then I am back at my computer typing away.
