The ability to have thoughts put onto paper and then realizing they came form you. I often wonder where those thoughts come from. I know the simple answer is me but before I started writing them down, I never would have thought them. I find the process fascinating.

I Thought You Should Know came from an idea I had about how women perceive the men in the life. It was mainly over bar conversations with many female friends about how they would react to the premise. The variety of answers surprised me.

Usually by something I've read or seen. Sometimes a dream.

Just write. Don't worry about getting famous. I think some write to be rich and famous and that isn't what writing is about, at least for me. It's an opportunity to learn more about yourself, take chances and practice seeing the world through eyes other than your own.

I think if you have trouble getting words down, you should just keep writing. There will be some terrible writing along the way, but you will eventually get out of it. I find it best to leave some projects for a day or so and work on something else or take a break and just scribble thoughts down. Since I like to write longhand, it makes that process easier and it always seems to loosen any blockades.
