I have no problems being "inspired." It's hard to ignore when dialogue and scenes keep replaying in my head. Once I write them down, I'm allowed to sleep.

A story about a girl named Fina. I don't really have a set title. It's fantasy/fiction/romance. It's along the lines of YA. I would love to have it ready to publish in early 2021.
I also have several thousand words into Mizhir's story that will give some background into the characters in Sweet Caroline.

Write. Practice. Relearn grammar rules if necessary (and, if you're serious, invest in Grammarly). Share your work with people you trust. Write some more.

Seeing the story unfold in words and phrases and dialogue. I'm constantly surprised by the turns in the stories I've written so far.

In four years, I haven't really experienced a true writer's block. I make time for writing, and I'm exceedingly patient with my characters. When they aren't "speaking" to me, I work on other projects, reread what I've already transcribed of their stories, and wait until their voices are clear again.

Two images: I kept imagining a small town street with autumn leaves on the ground. The street was deserted, and there was a breeze rustling the leaves in the trees. The street was wet from recent rain.
The second image is from the song "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence. The back and forth and the conflicting energy from the vocalists stirred an emotion that I wanted to express in my characters' story.
