I am always inspired! But I do enjoy looking up visuals, music videos, and listening to music that gives me ideas to write about. I also like to go for walks, research topics, and do art that sometimes I end up writing a story about.

Having the ability to create worlds and characters with my words. I am is limited only by my own mind and creativity. That is pretty spectacular.

More books! I have been doing children's books, but also have a few projects under young adult and regular fiction that I am working on.

Look up random writing prompts to get going again. Sometimes I set a timer and writing as much as I can in ten minutes. I also look up visuals or music and try to come up with a story behind them. I find watching music videos can also spark ideas! Artists of all types are inspired by the everyday things we take in. Write about them!

Keep writing. The more you write, the more you will grow as a writer. Be careful who you share your work with because your writing is a piece of you and sharing that initial work should be something special. Trust those who are encouraging, honest, and can give you constructive feedback to help you grow. And remember, just because someone suggests something, doesn't mean you have to do it--- Stay true to yourself and the story you wish to tell.

My most recent books, The Grim and The Fantastic, was prompted from a strange dream I had in 2017. I remember stepping into the world, being vaguely aware of the concept, and then woke up in the middle of the night to write it down.
