I sit down and write. As an author, I believe that this is the answer to every problem we encounter. What happens when a worker at Micky D's goes in to work and he doesn't feel up to flipping burgers? He picks up the spatula and he flips burgers.
Self-discipline is the only way to make your way to the other side of any problem. Sometimes that just means dragging yourself in front of your computer and writing, "I have no idea what to write today. I don't feel like writing. This is silly. Why am I being so silly?" and just keeping going until I get so annoyed with writing silliness that I write story, instead.
“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.” - Jim Rohn

I'm currently working on Thanatos' story. Thanatos is one of the most powerful Supernaturals in the world, and his love story sets the stage for the final book in the Supernaturals Now (to become 'Being Supernatural Now') series.
