I deal with writer's block by completely stepping away from the story. I go out of the house and do something that is relaxing to me. I might be away from my computer for a full day before I finally have an idea that works with the scene.

The best thing to me about being a writer is being able to us my creative side. Also being able to create worlds that hopefully inspires and affects others.

My advice to aspiring writers is to keep writing even when you start to question your abilities. Also give yourself and your characters the freedom to explore your possibilities.

I am currently working on short stories about everyday creatures within Mystic Haven and Dark Essence (Book 2 in Mystic Haven Series).

Music inspires me to write, which is why I write with music playing. When I am struggling with a scene I put the appropriate music on (i.e. fighting = scream music, love= slow romantic) and step back from the computer. It helps sometimes to get completely away from the computer and take my mind off the story. By the time I get back, I am looking at it with fresh eyes which helps with ideas.

The first scene in Haunted essence came to me late one night and would not leave my mind until I wrote it down. As soon as I put the words on paper the story came to life.
