To deal with writer's block, I usually change my writing place. I also find taking a moment to read a book or watch a movie helps kick start my mind to finish a scene. Reading and writing constantly helps me to keep my mind flowing.

The best thing about being a writer is being free. It may sound simple. However, writing is a form of freedom, and living my life doing what I love is truly a blessing.

I have two pieces of advice for aspiring writers. 1. Don't give up on writing no matter who may have told you that your writing needs improvement. 2. READ, READ, READ! Read a variety of genres and include writing crafts books. Writers should always read books to help them develop their writing craft.

I am currently working on a contemporary fiction story called, Mirror Image. It's going to be a Novella. I was inspired by the movie Antebellum, and was laying there picturing a woman dealing with her Black sixteen year old son on trial for a crime he didn't commit.
Synopsis:
A hardworking, single mother lives an ordinary life, until everything changes and her unconditional love, her loyalty and her motherly instinct to protect her son at all cost is threatened.
Emani Storm is yet, at another court hearing for her sixteen year-old son Devin. She is overwhelmed with emotions, as her son faces life in prison for a crime she knows he didn’t commit.
But there is something odd, a feeling she just can’t shake, when she sits in the court room—That overwhelming feeling that she knows the obnoxious lady sitting in the courtroom so adamantly ready to see her son spend the rest of his life in prison.
From her own personal experience, Emani will learn how it truly feels to experience social Injustice in a world full of hate.

I mostly get inspired to write from the issues that men and women face, and also by movies that I watch. I love writing, and I enjoy getting the characters stories that's in my head, out on paper.

My idea for, My Life Without You came from seeing and hearing about marital issues in the media. I was overwhelmed from the constant negative remarks that I heard about problems that people go through in their marriages. So judgmental. I also felt tired of seeing the biases between men and women in our society. I wanted to create a story about a woman. Told by a woman, and illustrate a world that needs much healing and forgiveness.
