I usually switch projects! I have a lot of different projects working at the same time- one that is my main focus, and others that I'm working on drafting for the future. I don't know if it's the most efficient, but since all of my projects take place in the same world/universe, it helps me to get out of one character's head and into another one's for a little while!

Just do it! Be fearless in your work and make it with a purpose. Tell a story that tells something about you or your experiences, even if it's cloaked under layers of magic and adventure. I know my stories always have pieces of me and my understanding of the world in it, and that makes it all the easier to write on!

I love the creative endeavour of making your own world. I love inventing the characters, coming up with their backstory and motivations. As J.R.R. Tolkien said, we are 'sub-creators' made in the image of our actual Creator and just as He is creative, so are we. And I think it's awesome that we are created to be creative beings. And I just love that so much.

Snowglobe 2! I'm very excited for the conclusion to the duology by Park Soyoung. I'm also super excited about Sunrise of the Reaping by Susanne Collins, though that's coming out in Spring.

Music! I have a massive playlist of video game OSTs and movie OSTs that get me going! Almost anything by Nobuo Uematsu is gold, but there's a lot of Hans Zimmer and Howard Shore, too.

I'm working on book 2 in the Invaris Chronicles! I'm very much looking forward to putting it out once it's finished, and I hope it's something others can look forward to!

Middle-earth! I'd have to visit Lothlorien - the Golden Wood. It's my favorite fictional place! I think all I'd really do is just explore...I love the idea of adventure.
