Everyday inspires me with something to add to my blog, fiction, or writing ideas. I look at the world with writer's eyes, observing the details, motives, and movements of the world and its inhabitants, characters, and spirits.

I'd like The Pencil Sharpener to become a series. I'm writing another novelette about Mitzi Miller.
I continue to blog at Tales of a Part-Time Sunshine (partimesunshine.com) and dslucas.com.
I am writing a novel called I Hate Puppies, narrated by an adult dog.

Stick with it. If you can't hone in on one voice or genre of writing, switch it up. It's the only way I can keep putting words on the page. I get dreadfully bored writing only way.

Creating something out of nothing, is the best thing about being a writer.

I got the idea for The Pencil Sharpener from a spunky move my mother made on her 79th birthday. She actually went to the house she sold five years after becoming a widow and asked the new homeowner for the pencil sharpener she left hanging under the basement steps.

Actually, I don't get writer's block in the traditional sense of the term. I actually am an idea hoarder and my brain is swimming with too many plots, characters, and settings. My writing gets slowed down because I have trouble focusing. When I can't get my ideas to flow and be organized, I close my laptop and do some sort of activity, like running, folding laundry, walking the dog, or going to the gym. If I'm really stuck because of brain clutter, I scrub our household toilets. This is what I do when I get really stressed.
