Honestly, probably my Asperger's. It's caused me no shortage of vexation throughout the course of my life and it would definitely make for an Oscar winner.

I would travel to Blade Runner and just enjoy the scenery and ambiance. I absolutely love the music to that movie. Vangelis' score really does feel like it comes from another world.

I had the idea for Moonlight Crusade years ago but held off on writing it due to the glut of vampire stories choking the market. This was when Twilight was huge and everyone was writing vampire books.
I think the earliest inspiration for me was the Underworld movies starring Kate Beckinsale. They were so cool back then and I was a huge fan.

I read books in the genre I'm writing and watch movies and TV. Experiencing great stories gets me pumped to write my own.

I have a few ways of dealing with writer's block. The first is to sit down and start writing. I find the words come to me naturally.
The second is to read similar books in the genre I'm writing. That fuels my creativity and gives me new ideas.

It varies depending on the book. My Infini Calendar series is roughly PG-13. My Divine Protector books are somewhat debatable. They range from hard PG-13 (most of them) to R (Aragami). Moonlight Crusade is very much R.

I'm currently writing the third entry in my Divine Protector series which began with God School (released earlier this month).

Take a writing class or two, and make sure to have people to give you feedback. Above all, keep writing! Practice makes perfect. The more you do, the BETTER you do.
