This is a tough one! Can I choose my own book? I guess if I can, I'd go with Claudia and Dawson in my novel, Implicating Claudia.
If I have to pick someone else's book, I'd go with Patricia Bradley's Shadows of the Past characters, Taylor and Nick.

Sofie was a character in Stella. I got "Sofie" by adopting a NaNoWriMo Writer in the NaNo forums. So, Sofie is an actual person, but I'm sure she differs quite a bit from the fictional version. When I wrote Sofie in she was only supposed to be in one scene, and I didn't even know if she would make the cut at the end, but she did. She played a much bigger part in "Claudia" and then got her own book.

When I first started writing, NaNoWriMo helped inspire me. Knowing I had a goal of 50,000 words in a month was a motivation.
These days getting inspired sometimes requires a few days of reading or watching movies. I am able to come with an endless stream of ideas, but getting them down on paper and developing them into full novels requires hard work and self-motivation.

I am currently working on The Bodyguard's Fake Bride. I also have another book in progress (a romantic suspense/thriller), and a novella (Painting the Sunset Sky) that I might expand into a full novel.

Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't a writer. It doesn't have to be your full-time job to count. Sitting down and creating something with your words is what makes you a writer.

The feeling you get when you hold your book in your hands for the first time. When I wrote "Zebras of Hope," my non-fiction book under a different name. The feeling was exciting, but the feeling of completing a novel is something entirely different,

I don't know if I have ever had true writer's block, but I do get stuck sometimes not knowing what to write next. At times like those, I use prompts. Whenever I'm stuck, I just find a list of prompts online and work one of the prompts into my story.
