The world of everything. A world in my mind, where all my stories and all the stories I've ever read reside. I would scuba dive with sea monsters, fly with dragons, and fight evil forces.

The wooden step creaked underneath my feet as I put my full weight on it, descending into the cellar's dark mouth. Midway down I saw the eyes, red, glowing, staring up at me, and my heart sank in fear.

Thank you so much for your review. Reviews are so important to authors like me. And I am so happy that you liked my books. I hope they provided the escape us readers love so much.
I am currently working on a different book, but maybe in the future there will be a part 3.

Just keep looking for stories or scenes, by watching people and things around you, don't force it. Maybe some Yoga, anything to relax the mind. Put it aside for a few days and don't fret about it.

Writing a story, watching an idea unfold and a story develop, seeing the characters grow and sometimes become something completely different.

Just start writing. Get your ideas together and put it on paper. Run the idea by friends if you need to, but mainly, just start writing.

I have several ideas and I am trying to decide which one to go with, right now I am leaning towards an apocalyptic Zombie story.

It just happens. It can be little things, like a bird flying and I think, what if that bird....and there goes the story. Once I have the main idea, the rest seems to flow, almost as if it has a life on its own.

It started with the love story between Fenrick and Moe and I worked around that to come up with the story. I wanted to write a "backwards" love story.
