Um... besides Avenzyre? Probably Narnia because animals. But earlier series Narnia, not later series Narnia. And I'd just hang out with the animals and and braid unicorn manes and whatnot. Probably live in a cottage someplace pretty.

Anything that looks interesting. The only newly released book that I was really looking forward to was Pack of Freaks by Jennifer Zamboni. There is a book being finished up by KT Pinto that I'm waiting patiently for, but I have no idea when it's coming out.

Books 1 and 2 were once one book, first written 25ish years ago when I was in high school (so many revisions!) But book 3 was very much inspired by a lot of stress and fear in my life. My dad was very ill and I needed to be a grown up when I was still a kid (and a very awkward and outcast one). When book 3 is released you'll be able to see the agony and gloom that was those dark months. Book 4, however, is like spring :)

Listening to music always helps. I enjoy many genres of music--classical, progressive metal, world, new age, pop. Sometimes watching a movie helps too--it doesn't matter what genre.

I'm working on revisions for book 3 of the Avenzyre series, as well as writing one of the much later books of the series (there several in between that are waiting their turns for their next revisions). I'm also working on some more short stories.

Keep writing whenever can, in any moment you have. Keep looking to improve and keep learning. Talk to authors and people in the business but be careful to jump into taking the first advice you receive. Consider it, but don't take it as law. Don't give up!

For me it's a high, and I love having a universe in my head.

I try not to stress. I might read something different than I normally read, maybe get out into nature, watch some movies or documentaries, do housework, play a video game. Mostly keep busy. I'll try to write a little bit but I won't force it otherwise I become resentful of writing.
