Honestly, I try not to stress too much about writer's block. The harder I force it, the worse it gets. Stepping away and letting ideas simmer in the background usually does the trick. Of course, if you're on a deadline that's a whole different monster! But I think every writer finds their own method for rekindling the spark.

The best part of being a writer is having the power to build entire worlds from the seeds of imagination. It's like being a magician, but instead of illusions, I conjure up characters, places, and emotions that feel vibrantly real on the page. There's something incredibly fulfilling about taking those private inner worlds and giving them a life of their own.

My biggest advice is to write from the heart. Don't chase trends or worry about what's popular. Your most authentic voice is what will shine through and resonate with the right readers. It might take time to build an audience, especially for niche genres, but passion is contagious. If even one person is deeply moved by your work, that's a success worth celebrating!

I'm fascinated by poems that tell full-fledged stories—they're like novels in verse! After the intense experience of creating "Silent Screams," I know my next project will have that same complex narrative structure. I'm playing with different themes and genres right now, but I'm drawn to stories fueled by deep emotion and the intricacies of human experience.

When it hits: I get inspired by everything around me, like a vibrant sunset, snippets of chats, life's beautiful messiness. Reading other poets always gets my creative juices flowing. And big emotions? Gotta turn those into poems!

The Beauty We Create: stemmed from a lifetime of poetic musings, compiled from two previous books. My ideas often arrive in bursts, I have to capture them before they fade. It's a delightful whirl of creativity where everything seems to rhyme.
