My advice for aspiring writers would be simply - just write.
Write about anything and everything. Write anywhere, anytime.
I always keep a little notebook handy - in my purse, by my bed, on the kitchen counter. When an idea comes to you write it down on anything you have, napkin, receipt, index card, anything - just get it down. You never know when that idea can transform from one single word to a sentence, then a paragraph, or even a short story. From there a whole novel is possible, and one idea triggers another. Keep writing!

I ran through the house frantically, searching desperately for something, anything. I stood in horror in the center of the house as the truth came to me in one big crashing wave of despair and realized - all the chocolate was gone!

The best thing about being a writer is hearing how people react to the stories I tell. I love it when they tell me something that moved them, surprised them, or made them laugh.

I turn up the music - I always have music playing in the background, usually country - and dance around the kitchen until I’m inspired. (Or tired 😉) Most the times just increase if the blood flow gives me a new release on writing.
