By doing research. I actually love doing research, little details make all the difference! When writer's block hits me, I'll work on research instead...a lot of times I'll find something fascinating that inspires me to work it into the book and BOOM! I'm off!

Don't let anyone tell you that you CAN'T, but always be open to suggestions and constructive criticism. It's okay to be a little hurt when someone offers that tough love, but remember that they're doing it because they want you to succeed. If it's valid advice, take it.

I dream in full color, sound and smell (which is horrible when it's a nightmare!), but my best ideas have come from my dreams. Sometimes my subconscious comes up with something so completely outside the realm of what I would have done consciously, I can only attribute it to a muse stopping by and whispering in my ear while I sleep.
