The Conduit Chronicles series came to me while I was on a train in Tuscany. Being immersed in all the rich culture, ancient architecture and beautiful landscape cracked open something inside me. It was the birthplace of my series and I had no idea then, how much it would shape my life.

Travel, history, music and diving into other cultures. When I feel like I'm in a different world, my imagination tends to spark to life.

I just finished the final installment of The Conduit Chronicles. I have a series that has been tickling my imagination for a while. It would be another Fantasy. I have to get more down on paper before I'll share more. But...it will have some crossover characters from The Conduit Chronicles.

Start! Just start! Don't worry about the logistics or project what you think the life of a writer is. In my experience, our stories were laid on our hearts for a specific reason. You are the only one who can tell it your way. The world needs your story and your flavor. So, just start! Be disciplined at first, then also choose to let it flow when it wants.

I love immersing myself in Creativity fully! Like really bathing in it. When the story comes together in ways I didn't even imagine, it feels more like I am a "Conduit" (Yes, ironic, I know). It feels like connecting to something bigger than myself.

I have a playlist that I have created for each book. When I feel blocked, I lay down and listen to the playlist of the book I am trying to flush out. A lot of times this will get my imagination rolling and I can get some words down.
I have discovered that writing anything, even if it's not the scene you wanted or you never use it, helps to unclog the writing flow.
