The best part of being a writer is getting to live a thousand lives. Everything my characters experience, good and bad, I experience.

I'll listen to music or watch tv. Sometimes I'll abandon a story and start on a new one. I have tons of stories that I have never finished because of writer's block. I can't force a story. It either wants to be told or it doesn't.

Just write. It may not be good. It may not be a story, but it will help you get there. If you have a character ask that character some icebreaker questions. Who are your parents? What did you bring to show and tell as a child? What's your favorite color? They'll never make it into the story but knowing your character inside and out can help build a story. Sometimes a character will write their own story.

I was writing a story centered around the arch angel Lucifer when Amber from The Infected: An H1-2M1 Chronicle started fighting to be heard. She was a strong female lead that just didn't fit into that world. The world she belonged in had no angels. Her world took off in my imagination as I flipped through the primary debates and zombie shows. I wanted her world to be realistic. A fictional world that made you nervous because our reality could very well be The world Amber's grandparents grow up in.

Most of my inspiration comes from music. Every song tells a story, sometimes a song will inspire a character and their voice screams at me wanting to be heard.
