I don't believe in writer's block. It simply means I am not ready to write that novel or story yet. Writing novels and being part of an MFA program taught me that in order to write well, you have to sit down and write all the time - even when it doesn't feel good.

Living in the mixed up and chaotic world of reality and fiction. It is a chance to live so many lives in the pages you read and write.

Write to the best of your ability. No one will tell you it is perfect or it is done. No one will tell you that you have arrived as a writer. Just keep writing the things that mean something important to you right now. And the passion and the vision will be clear when we read your work.

I am working on two novel ideas. One is based on a wedding. And the other about a hostage situation. They are not at all related.

I like to hear strange and confusing stories. I am inspired by books that don't come easy but have a lot of depth and vision in them. I love reading and book and realizing that I am really not reading anymore, but thinking about what I want to write. That is an important shift.

This came from a futuristic idea about being guilty of a crime but not knowing I committed the crime. In the end, the novel fell into the past in a remote place where the community was small, and every social implication means so much to everyone.
