I have several books I actually got checked off of my list, but several more were added. I just finished reading Farewell to Manzanar which I just wrote a paper on. This past month covered non-fiction books. But, currently reading The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willing, which is book one of her series. I also have The Tuscan Child my Rhys Bowen.

Dream About Me is the story of loss and moving forward, but the story came to me through music. A song by the Italian artist Biagio Antonacci called "Sognami" which translates to "Dream About Me" brought forth the idea, but smooth rhythm from the song is how the story was crafted the story.

The world around me is my inspiration and having conversations with people outside my writing world helps me create ideas. I tell people ahead of time to be careful what they say to me, I'm a writer and it could just be something that appears in my books.

I am working on a series and several stand alone novels. I never thought I'd be working on a series and suddenly I started one because I felt it needed to be written. The first book has been completed and I see at least five books to follow.

Takes me away from reality into a different mindset where my problems aren't my own, they are my characters'. I spent many rough drafts trying to paint this perfect world for all my characters, but in reality it was harder to accept that I was bringing my problems into their world. So, when I started breaking down the wall that kept me from writing I realized how much I enjoyed helping my characters find their way.

Trying to find inspiration in the world everyday. I've had writer's block for four years before I had a breakthrough. Several bad ideas turned into one good idea when I put them together.

Never give up even when things seem bleak. Writing everyday helps inspire new ideas.
