I have never had writer's block. I've had I-don't-feel-like-doing-this-today block, but the ideas always come.

Finishing! I love knowing when a book is done and then getting it ready for release.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. You have to keep going no matter what. This business is tough and if you don't believe in yourself no one else will.

I'm getting ready to release a duo of stories for free on Amazon called Men Going Mad. I'm also at the mid-point on a Southern gothic novel.

I don't! I force myself to sit in front of my laptop until the words come out. If I waited for inspiration I'd never finish anything. :)

(view spoiler)[For Shimmerfish, I'd been wanting to do a stolen identity piece for a while, and this is what came out. Initially, the two MCs bonded over a sci-fi TV show, but since I'm not a sci-fi writer, I had a major problem creating a fake TV show that made sense. I put the book down for a while to look for a replacement, some other activity that would bring them together. When I saw Merpeople on Netflix, I realized that professional mermaiding was the perfect thing. I love professional mermaids. (hide spoiler)]
