Like any other writer, the struggle is real. I've been trending to get writer's block at the midway part and then against just before the end when things are wrapping up. It helps to put it down and read something else. Before your go back to work, ask yourself, what does the character want to happen?

Read! A lot! You will learn so much about writing from reading. You will find styles you do and do not like as well as areas where you can imagine taking the reader further.

It usually starts out from either a dream or daydream. My mind wanders and my imagination takes off with it.

The story idea for My Beautiful Ghosts came from a nightmare I had in my freshmen year in college in 2010. It was so vivid and terrifying that it bothered me for days. It was from that dream that the prologue was created. I started writing about the dream to finish Alyssa's story, because I couldn't leave her in the cold waters.

I am working on a new novel that is sci-fy dystopian. It doesn't have a name yet, but it will be released in Spring 2022.

Hogwarts! I remember the first time I ever read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I was in the third grade and it was the first time I'd ever been completely captured by a book. I've loved the entire book series and collect different versions of the book and trinkets. I even have a Deathly Hallows tattoo on my right wrist.
