I don't force myself to write. I enjoy the story I'm telling. When I get an idea about something to write I make a list of my characters names and I give each of them their own personality. If for any reason I do have writer's block, I take a break and observe my surrounding. I check out the temperature, the smells, the sounds, and the warmth of lighting, etc. Just thinking of other things can help jolt you out of writer's block. That's my 2 cents worth!

Getting my stories on paper so others can read them. If, by some stroke of luck, my writings becomes popular, my stories will be in the minds of numerous people for generations to come. How cool is that?

Research is your friend. It also takes a lot of will power to sit in front of a keyboard for hours on end writing. If you are writing something, stick to it. Write at least 10 to 20 minutes per day. Don't worry about it being perfect, just get the story on paper while the ideas are flowing. Once you are finished getting the story written, you can start your proofing. Get a second set of eyes, nay, get as many eyes as you can to read your book and accept their input where needed. Believe in yourself! Finally, if you have a hard time sticking with it, find other aspiring writers and nag each other until each of you get something finished!

I'm wrapping up a book regarding artificial intelligence (AI). I actually finished writing the AI book and for now I'm proofing it and adding a few details where needed. I have a friend making me a book cover so when I get the cover I'll get it published.

My high school teacher Mr. Moon! He was an inspiration and made me read the classics, which I fell in love with. Being a geek, I love to read science fiction novels and soon thereafter my overactive imagination took over and I wanted to write my own stories.

The idea for this book came from a dream when I was a child. Later in life I had another dream for a second and third book, making it a trilogy.
