Start writing. Just start. And set a goal for yourself to either write for a certain amount of time every day, or for a certain amount of words every week, and stick to it. Yes, life happens, but if you don't have that self accountability in place, the writing won't happen. Period.

Being able to utilize my imagination to write out essentially whatever I want. Had a conversation that I wanted to go a different way than it did? It now went that way in a tale. Have a regret from the past? Presto. Change-o. It's now rewritten.

I turn on music. Songs from the 1950s and early 1960s served as inspiration when I was dealing with writer's book whilst writing "Some Horrific Evening".

Just finished reading "Ararat" by Christopher Golden, and am currently reading "Smile No More" by James A Moore. Next up is "Falling for Hope" by my cousin, Eryn LaPlante, and then "The Case of the Empty Throne" by Brian Olsen.

Inspiration comes to me all the time from conversations, real-life occurrences, and more -- unfortunately, many of the times it's when I'm in the car driving and obviously can't write it down then.

My second book, which is tentatively titled "The Painting". Think "Sliding Doors" meets "Charmed" and you *might* get the idea.

One specific scene (the kitchen scene -- when the walls and floor changed colors and shifted) in "Some Horrific Evening" came to me in a dream. It wouldn't leave my head, so I went with it and more and more ideas behind it came to me.
