I worked in the auto auction industry for about 4-5 years. I absolutely loved it and did it with my mom. After losing her, it was a type of therapy for me. I got to remember the times we had as block clerks and working with all the auctioneers and ringmen. We loved the fast pace of the auction world. I wanted to write about something that I know and something that I haven't read about very often. This was it for me.

I've always had a vivid imagination and always played make-believe. The stories aren't the hard part for me, it's actually writing it that is hard.

I started my second novel shortly after finishing my first, but it is going a lot slower. It's a dual timeline, and I'm pretty excited about it. But it's been a lot harder to write than my first one. At least draft 0 has been harder to write since I know a little more about how to write.

Something I was told, just do it. You can't be afraid to fail if you don't do it in the first place. I fail by not doing it at all.

So far, I'm blown away by people actually wanting to read my book. It makes me want to keep writing.

Since I haven't been writing for very long, I haven't had this too much. But when I have, I have read other books similar to the one I'm writing. The biggest thing that helps me though is talking with other author friends and getting some ideas by bouncing some off them.
