Not well, to be honest. I'm currently going through it and still don't have a strategy to get over it.

Write write write. I admit at times I struggle to follow that advice.

The best thing about being a writer is feeling that release of emotion as I spew out the contents of my brain. Sometimes I'm genuinely surprised by what comes out and that's when it gets exciting!

I'm in the early writing phase of the sequel to "Chemtrail Dystopia".

In Stephen King's book "On Writing" he says that every idea starts with a question, generally a "what if". I tend to agree this is an effective way of coming up with a story idea. To give an example, "Chemtrail Dystopia" started with the question "what if chemtrails were real and were part of a government conspiracy?" Many ideas simply pop into my head and get stuck there until I write them down.

I consider myself to be a social activist and what some may call a "conspiracy theorist". For several years now I have been following alternative non-mainstream news sources such as We Are Change, True Activist, and Natural News. A topic that often gets discussed is the idea that "chemtrails" are being sprayed into the sky for various reasons.
Many people theorize that we're being sterilized, dumbed down, and even poisoned. I simply imagined that all these theories were true. As I imagined this, I toyed with the idea of a secret government conspiracy and it was off to the races. I also want people to at least question these chemtrails, though you can just enjoy the book as pure fiction as well.
