I don't have it anymore because I've written for so long and so much it just doesn't happen. I do procrastinate a bit, though! But I am never blocked. You get to a certain point where you actually have ideas coming way too fast to get them on paper. ALWAYS CARRY A NOTEBOOK!

I get to be everything I ever wanted through my writing and explore every subject that fascinates me. I have freedom to work when I want, and I love telling stories.

Don't think too much, just sit down and write, and NEVER EDIT AS YOU GO ALONG. Get the first draft DOWN ON PAPER. Then go back and attack!

I write full-time, which basically means I never stop! I don't wait for inspiration, because this is my day job, so I just sit down and do the work and usually, the inspiration follows!

My novels are always ideas I come up with, often from a title that just pops into my mind and sticks like glue. As the days go on, the story sort of presents itself until I know exactly what I want to write. Weird, but it works for me!
