My most recent book is Nightmare in the Shadows. I tried writing it about 5 different times, and each time I got to the 2 or 3 chapter mark, I would delete it. My best friend convinced me to try NaNoWriMo in 2015. Not believing in myself much and being angry, I sat down and started writing. I released all of my anger in the book, even making some of the people who had wronged me in life become characters in my book. It was the best decision I ever made.

I find inspiration in many forms. Sometimes it's a song I hear online, others it's something big that happened to me. Anything can be used as inspiration. You just have to be open to letting it happen.

I am working on final edits for my book Nightmare in the Shadows, along with writing book 2 in the series. I also have 3 other books started. I'm a little scatter brained right now.

Never give up. We all doubt ourselves from time to time. You have to find ways to push those feelings aside, and keep doing what you love. I believe everyone has a story inside them that's waiting to be written. Hold on to your dreams.

I love that it's a great way to express the emotions I'm feeling. I can get all of my anger out by writing a horror/thriller novel, or my sadness out by writing things that are close to issues I've dealt with. Writing is truly cathartic.

When I have writers block I either take a short break, or try working on a different story.
