It's okay not to feel it. Like Stephen king says, When you are consumed by thoughts, write. When you are uninspired, read. When you're ready to to pull your feet from the quicksand, it'll come.

Be your own cheerleader. Writing is hard. It's okay to jibe with the rhythm of your hive. You are literally doing your very best, if no one else is, be proud of yourself.

I just wrapped my second book. I am giving it one last edit before I format and release it in September.

By reading. Or by revisiting something that I wrote that I really liked. Something I was proud of.

I met my characters first. Got to know them and discovered one had a terrible secret. A Cobra Mustang features heavily in this story and connects the protagonist and the antagonist. I asked myself, how would this car still connect them 13 years after said horrible event? I next thought of this line...Time passed in a series of calculated but undeniable risks, justified by a single objective: revenge. I then wound these characters up and released them into the wild. I followed them around and wrote down everything they thought and did.
