Pride and Prejudice is one of my all time favorite books so I guess I have to say Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. I love how Austen develops the characters and her ability to take us through a wide range of emotions that so many relationships go through and how our own personalities, fears and preconceived notions can nearly ruin what could be, a perfect match. I also adore the fact that Darcy was not daunted at all by Elizabeth's strong will, which in that time period was not a quality men looked for in a woman.

Keep writing! New genres, new characters, new ideas. The more you write, the better. Talk to other writers and don't be thwarted by rejection.

The ability to work from anywhere. With the ability to take a laptop just about anywhere I can write whenever the inspiration hits me. Someday I hope to retire from nursing and be a full time writer.

I have to step away from the computer. Luckily I live in Montana, which is packed with beauty and outdoor recreational activities. Sometimes a quiet paddle in my kayak or in the winter, a snowshoe hike into the mountains can clear my head and rejuvenate whatever project I'm working on.

It's easy to be inspired to write, living in Montana. Beautiful scenery and cool breezes on a warm summer night naturally inspire me to write. Unfortunately, I am also very busy and usually have a house full of people so finding some quiet down time is key to putting my thoughts on paper.
