1. Connect with other writers for mutual encouragement and advice.
2. Never apologize for the time you spend reading. It's all research when you boil it down.
3. Just begin. Don't worry about whether your first efforts are good or not. Polishing can come later.

The idea for my most recent book, A Flame in Goshen, was birthed out of a conversation about slavery and freedom as it pertains to us today, especially in the area of expectations. I know that sounds a bit vague but I don't want to give away any spoilers.

If it happens when I am in the midst of a project, a good brainstorming session with friends often inspires me with fresh ideas. Otherwise, there are times I just need to give myself permission to take a break and focus on something else for a while.
