I don't really have a problem with inspiration. Maybe it's because I've only been actually writing my stories down since 2012, perhaps this problem will come about later on. But as far as the last few years, I've yet to ever sit down and not be inspired to write some story or another I've got in my head.

I absolutely love sharing my stories. It feels ... well, it's hard to explain how it actually feels to share a piece of a world you made up in your head with strangers, but it feels good and scary and wonderful, all at the same time.

It's really silly but if you want to be a writer, than just write. I can't tell you how many people I have spoke to who are obsessed about learning how to promote their new book, what their book cover will look like, which commission structure they want at KDP but haven't actually written their first book. So that's why I always tell everyone, WRITE YOU BOOK FIRST and then worry about all the rest. There is plenty of time to obsess about the marketing of your book after you write it. But without actually completing your book, you are never going to get anywhere.

I was watching an interview with George Clooney about how he met Amal and I thought how great would that be for a romance novel? With that, Mr. Hollywood was born.

I work on multiple projects so it helps keep my creative juices flowing. If I find I get blocked on one story I'll just move on to another.

I have a few projects in the work. At this very moment I've just finished the third chapter of a new book which is a follow up to Mr. Hollywood. I'm also still plugging away at the next book in the Absolutely Unforgivable series.
