There are so many to chose from, but I would single out Achilles and Patroclus from "The Song of Achilles". I have never experienced any other relationship - through a book or a movie - as I have theirs. It is the best written love story that I've ever read and one that can actually show every other writer out there how it is done. There is such poetry to it, and yet it is still as real as it can be. Both characters are three-dimensional and believable, and you can easily relate to them and what they're feeling and experiencing. For me, their love story has become the point of reference whenever I want to portray something like that in my books.

I just stop, take a break and some distance, and get back to it whenever I feel "unblocked".

That I wish I knew. Sometimes I wonder myself where I got the inspiration for a certain scene and I'll probably never know. I'm just glad that I do get inspired, only it is not continuous.

Three different projects all at once. A bit stretched, I now, but I tent to go where the inspiration leads me, and if I get stuck on one project, I stop and continue with the next one for as long as I have something to write.

I still aspire to be a writer myself, so will get back to this one when and if I ever make it :)

You get to build your own world and bring to life not only characters and places, but also your own dreams. It's like living several parallel lifetimes all at once.
