Christy, I am SO happy you're enjoying Misstep. The POV in Faux Pas is still Hugh's. I find I can conjure up the humor better (and faster) if Hugh is speaking. Besides, Hugh is basically me in a male form. :-) I think you'll enjoy Faux Pas with its quirky characters, ridiculous situations, and the POTUS comes to visit for the wedding of his nephew and Hugh and Melanie's daughter, Amanda. Thanks so much!

For me, it's getting inside a character's skin and brain, putting words into his/her mouth, and living out situations I will never experience in my own life. There's something so exhilarating about creating a world for my characters and then putting them in situations so dire/funny/unbelievable that it takes all the creativity I have to get them back out in one piece.

I do what so many other authors do--I plow through it. I believe there IS such a thing as writer's block, but I don't think we (or I) should give in to it. Oftentimes while listening to some good Michael W. Smith music, singing along in my off-key voice, puts me back in the mood to glorify God and soon afterwards, the ideas flow.
