Great questions and thanks for the compliment! I have no idea what made me go from social worker to writer. It was simply me taking a hobby and making it into something more. I am so fortunate to get to do two things I love! I am often inspired by music/songs. Sometimes it's just one line that gets me thinking. I wonder what would make someone feel that way or what happened to get people to this point? Before you know it, I have a whole story outlined! I do have Pinterest boards for everything I write.

Sometimes the best thing to do when I have writer's block is to step away. Staring at the same screen, with the same words, is not helpful. I might read or spend time with my family or even clean the house! Giving my brain a break from being creative is usually the best medicine. Other times, writing something completely different can help. A short story or maybe just an outline for a new idea can help me break the spell I sometimes feel under when I have writer's block! The key is remembering not to give up but to go back and keep writing, even if you have to scrap somethings.
