I never force my ideas. My best stories are the ones that seem to come out of nowhere and really strike a chord with me. It's a lot of fun when that initial concept arrives and then I get to use my imagination to see how it all unfolds.

A short story centered around my experience with mental health - but with a creepy twist!

Build your writing habit! It will save you so much grief later. Motivating yourself to write is such a big part of the battle, especially for those of us with conditions like ADHD that make it more difficult. Start small and keep at it.

Seeing your ideas come to life. There's something very empowering about having an idea that once lived in your head come alive on the page.

Self-care. We focus so much on the getting-back-to-work side of writer's block that we often forget to address what might be causing the block in the first place. It's okay to take a step back and allow yourself to relax. Inspiration has a funny way of striking in the most unexpected moments.

The Wizarding World - but hopefully several years after the Battle of Hogwarts. Obviously would love to explore Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade and see if I could make it as a witch!

There's a woman in my family tree who we know nothing about, including her name. As an Indigenous woman, all records of who she was were destroyed when she married. It has always upset me that we know nothing about who she was or where she came from. I think there's definitely potential here for a collaboration with an Indigenous author.
