IRON - which is coming out in 2018 - came about because my husband took up blacksmithing and it occurred to me how impossible our industrialised world would be without Iron.
The Shadows series came about when I was watching a doco on different typed of hominids. Won't give any spoilers.
Also work in progress is a time-travel stand alone story and a portal fantasy series. SO MUCH TO WRITE.

Most of the time you don't. You just have to sit down and put words on the page, whether they're good or not. You can improve a full, completed first draft. You can't improve something you've never put to paper. Don't wait for inspiration. It's a fickle mistress.

An urban fantasy trilogy called "Shadows". No spoilers except that the heroine, Rowan, is afraid - of herself more than anything. Afraid that she could lay waste to the world. And she could.

Write lots. Read lots. Shelve your ego and accept feedback/critiques from people who actually know more about writing than you do (no, I don't mean from trolls and people who just enjoy criticising - ask for feedback from authors you admire.)

Learning - you're constantly researching and learning amazing new things. And meeting truly interesting people who are either writers or fans - which means you're part of a supportive and esoteric community.
