Watch a movie like The Shining or something I knew that came from a book. I also write down ideas for books and will go through my little book for ideas.

Keep writing. I didn't like writing in school, but now that I write what I like it is a different ball game. I wrote wanting to sell for ten years, went through two agents. Sometimes you have to do what makes you happy. I moved the needle for myself.

I have 17 manuscripts completed, so I'm updating them, making sure I love them as much as when I first wrote them. I'm working on a series and I'm currently working on book three. (Book 1, A Paris Affair of the Hotel Baron's series will be out next month.)

I have a friend who has been engaged a lot. I really enjoy her wedding rings even the cloudy emerald and the fake diamond, so I thought about how I could write a book about it that wasn't about her, but motivated by her.
