Living in New York City there's more than enough inspiration around me every day. The people and stories in this town are incredible if you stop to look and listen, it's a storyteller's goldmine.

Just sit down and commit to a work. Don't let yourself make excuses for not writing or endlessly tinkering with microscopic edits. Get something into the hands of some first readers, listen, tweak and repeat.

Hands down, hearing from someone who read your work. No question.

Cooking and running are the two things in the world that, for some reason, push absolutely everything else out of my mind. So when I'm blocked, one or both of those seems to give my brain enough of a break that it can figure out where it wants to go next.

I work in Broadway and Film for a living, so I have set aside summers to always knock out a new novel (the "off" season for my other life). So for me a novel idea has to WAIT until I can pounce on it with time to write.
I already know what I'll be working on this coming summer, a novel with a main character who is both gay and has synesthesia (look it up, it's kind of amazing). I have a friend with synesthesia who is a brilliant musician as a result that has really inspired me to tell that story.

I happen to work in the entertainment industry so, as a gay man, I've seen how dealing with sexuality complicates the careers and choices of a lot of my younger actor friends. It's a dynamic that is changing so quickly I thought it was time to tell that story from both sides of the coin.
