I woke up late on the morning of the 29th, my thoughts groggy from a restless sleep. My body was weak and my stomach begging for food, so I opened the cereal--hundreds of spiders poured from the box onto my hands, arms, neck... face...

I take a break, go for a walk, do some reading, anything to get away from that corner I find myself in. I spend a lot of my waking hours also thinking about what comes next.
For me, inspiration and discovery don't always come behind a screen. They're usually the result of my distracted mind in the midst of another task or (unfortunately) while falling asleep.

It's fun! I love discovering the story my characters have within them.

Find something to enjoy in every step of the writing process.
For me, writing is fun and easy. I love discovering the story my characters have within them. Revising and editing, however, is a slower and more painful process. It's not that I don't enjoy what I'm reviewing, I just wish I were still writing and learning more about the world and the story. If I didn't take pride in the final product, I would push revision to the side and that step would never be completed.

I am nearing the end of my first revision round for the second book in the Draz'Khasha Chronicles: Lost Within. I have also spent a bit of time working on a stand alone novel, currently titled "Schism".

A lot of my inspiration for specific events comes from the setting I create. Once I know where the characters live, I can better understand the ways they spend their time and the types of situations they could find themselves in.

I was listening to the song "Reptile" by Periphery, and became inspired to create a Dungeons & Dragons campaign about an alien invasion. The more I developed the story, the more I came to love it. Eventually I dropped the guise of a campaign and found myself nursing the beginnings of a novel.
