Almost everything around me inspires me. From the music I listen to with such beautifully meaning lyrics, morning walks, dreams and nightmares, conversations, tv shows to even some lectures I've attended. It's kind of funny how easily something can inspire an idea, if you're creative enough :)

This is going to sound funny, but I don't. If I hit a roadblock, I totally disassociate myself from whatever I'm writing, as if I wasn't writing the book at all. I hate forcing myself to write, because trust me when I say when I write, it just comes to me. If I'm stuck, then I need a moment to step back before getting into it. The fix for the block will probably come in a dream.

Finishing the second draft of Damned and Beautiful, along with the the first few chapters of Book 2 for NaNoWriMo!

It was a mix of a lot of old ideas! The original idea of the story I've decided to store for another novel, since I was getting a lot of road blocks writing that one. However, once I changed the premise a bit to fit more of what I actually wanted to write, it bloomed into Damned and Beautiful.
