I write a different story taking my mind off my main project, then I give myself the task of just writing a page a day. Meditation and NLP have also helped me to re-frame the blocks in my head and to be better able to break through those so that my thoughts and creativity can flow more fluidly once more. Touch wood I barely if at all ever get writers block, maybe I’m just one of those annoying people with a knack for not getting stuck in my mind.

The unlimited power of the use for imagination, creating infinite worlds and characters with works of fiction where the rules of physics don't always have to apply, and where the sky is the limit! Some of my best books I’m sure died with my childhood daydreams in classrooms when I would stare out of a window bored to tears in a lesson being taught a subject I really had no interest in, because my mind was elsewhere in the playground imagining break time playing with my friends or venturing off into some distant world dreamed up by my childish mind. Now I can write freely with no holds barred infinite ideas—I can daydream to my hearts content not to be interrupted by a teacher who demands I give them focus. My best ideas come from those daydream states.

Take it slow, don't stress or press yourself—above all, keep it simple!

Book three of Pink Club, Book Two is already finished and due for release over the next few weeks. My beta-reader, editor and proof reader have already expressed their love of the continuation in Darla’s story from Pink Club book one. My solid 5 star reviews from independent readers as well have blown me away, I never expected in a million years for my books to receive such amazing comments and praise. One dreams of such things as a writer but to actually see it happening is really something quite exciting and emotional.

I’m always having ideas for stories, they just seem to pop in my head and run through my mind like scenes from a movie. It is my characters who inspire me. My parents and friends—anyone who knows me, always states I've got a vivid and amazing imagination, I’m glad I retained this part of myself from childhood right through to present day adulthood. I love to write stories that tug at the heart strings and make my characters relatable to their reader.

For my first book Pink Club would you believe the night before this idea came to me I’d quit writing altogether! I’d been trying for 5 years to write a book and I’d start and stop story ideas so many times that eventually I just threw in the towel. Having made peace with my decision that perhaps I was not destined to write a book, I awoke the next morning with no thoughts of writing on my mind when all of a sudden while halfway down the stairs on route to getting my first coffee of the morning—suddenly, Wham! The idea for Pink Club hit my like a bolt from the blue! Where the idea came from well my true answer is, somewhere from the universe. Once I gave up chasing a story idea, the perfect one revealed itself, sometimes we have to let go to let come.
