From The Thing About Love... It's the follow-up in a trilogy.

I write what I know! The Thing About... trilogy is inspired by life events. Even if you're not inspired by events of your own life like me, look for inspiration inside you, your surroundings, and express yourself. Don't be afraid to let go.

Do it! Don't let anything or anyone stop you. You may stumble, people may not want to help or guide you, you may face obstacles, people you expected to help you may not want to do it... Write anyway. You will eventually find your way. And when you do, and someone asks you for advice or help, give it to them. Be selfless. Abundance! Keep that in mind and help your fellow authors.

Being able to put into words all the fantasies that happen in your mind, shape them, and hope that other people enjoy reading them. And in the case of this book, it was cathartic.

I didn't experience it with this book. I think maybe because it's inspired by actual events of my life. I did experience it with another book I wanted to write, the first one I intended to write. But as I wrote this one, I found the path to write the original one. I hope once I get to writing that original book (which will be part of The Thing Abou... trilogy), I won't face writer's block either, or too much of it. Crossing my fingers. I get my ideas at night, in the shower. My mind wanders and I start hearing the dialogue. I do have to jot it down as soon as I get out so I don't forget it. I think the shower helps, because it relaxes me, I'm less distracted, and I can let my imagination go.

This is my first novel, it's contemporary romance.
