Salem's Revenge, the second novel in my Salem series, was just published a few months ago. The inspiration for the series came from a vacation to Salem, MA.

Just being alive. Inspiration hits me from all angles, like my brain processes life through possible stories lol

I'm plotting something new, something unlike anything I've ever written before. Trying my hand at a new genre, which I find fun and challenging. Still plotting at the moment, so don't have a lot I can tell there. Sorry.

Stay true to your story. It will show in your writing, make your story better. Ignore the internal editor, the nay sayer that comes from other's opinions mostly. So, most importantly take with a grain of salt the opinions everyone will throw your way from a well-meaning friend to your Aunt Irene. That said, if you are lucky enough to have an experienced editor or writer among your early readers, utilize them. You can benefit from your experience.

The commute to work! I hate to drive :)

I try other creative pursuits. Anything from drawing to crafting that I enjoy, sometimes even a long baking session, new challenging recipe I try out with music blaring. I find any break that also gets the creative juices flowing helps once I sit back down to plot or write.
