I'm reading Bear Town right now, by Fredrick Backman. I'm also looking forward to John Grisham's new novel, Camino Island. I may also re-read Stephen King's IT, since it's been 20+ years since I read it last, and I'd like to read it again before the new movie comes out. Also, I'm searching for a few new authors, to read some of their work.

Write what you love, what you're truly passionate about. Write for you, not for fame or fortune or even for others. When you write what you're passionate about, and commit the best of what you have to that, everything else will be taken care of.

The inspiration comes in the form of story ideas. I don't seek them out, they find me. When a story starts writing itself in my head, I get really excited, to put it in paper.

It came to me as a hint of an idea, which included the beginning and end, but nothing in between. I thought it would be a fun little short story, but it continued writing itself.
