Several years ago, I had my wisdom teeth removed by a very good-looking dentist (picture this - tanned, perfect white teeth and a day’s worth of stubble), and under the influence of laughing gas, let’s just say I became a rather ‘chatty Cathy’. I took that premise and ran with it - and that's where the idea behind Just Like Pulling Teeth was born.

Inspiration can strike anywhere, anytime. I've come to discover there's no rhyme or reason as to when I feel inspired - but I've learned I'm most prolific when I'm stress-free.

I'm currently working on His Personal Assistant, an m/m novella.

Never stop writing. Write about anything you can, but write prolifically. Share your work with family, friends, or even share them online. Write short stories, poems, hell - even jot down a sentence on a napkin. It all counts. Keep refining your craft for as long as you feel compelled to share your inner voice, and talk to other writers about their publishing experience.

Nothing is more gratifying than breathing life into characters that come purely from one's imagination.

I often read, or do something else I enjoy in order to distract myself. I find that forcing myself to write when the character's aren't cooperating doesn't work for me. Ideas often spring to mind at the most random times (I often have my 'eureka!' moments when I'm in the shower).
