I have a very long to-read-list. There is just so much to read and so little time.
I am definitely looking at catching up on reading the 'Hunger Games' series as well reviewing the Djinn Empire series by Ingrid Seymour. There are quite a few others too that I will be reading and reviewing in the coming weeks.

Reading...brainstorming .... going through old notes that I may have jotted down. Listening to music also helps sometimes... calms me down, helps to look at things differently. When I feel I am stuck at some point in a story... I usually step back and try to see what's going on and where it is going... old notes help in giving me directions.

I would like to tell my fellow writers that they should 'Keep the fire alive'.
We writers often go through periods of depression and disappointment - where we feel that we are not good enough, what we write will not be accepted by others. We loose the courage to write, keep avoiding it first for days and then months and years. I would say - don't loose heart. Keep that passion alive, keep writing - its not about earning money - its more about telling a story - entertaining, enlivening and enriching the lives of others.
