Writing something that people enjoy reading.

Different things inspire me. If I'm writing a story set in the past, I might listen to music from that time period to help get me in the mood.

If I knew that, I'd have more ideas!

Just keep writing. For me, it helps to switch projects and then come back to whatever was giving me trouble later.

Reading reviews. When a complete stranger takes the time to write a review of your book, you know you've touched something within them - though it isn't always a good "something!"

Many things! I'm editing my next release as well as working on two other novels and a collection of short stories. When I get stuck, I can switch to another project.

Keep writing and don't give up. If you tell yourself that you can't write, then you won't write. Don't worry about things being perfect the first time around. That's what editing is for!
