Katrina L. Thomson If you're unsure about your writing, try out Fanfiction or Wattpad, while you write your own stories on the side, that way you can make your writing better and hear what people have to say. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't, because you can. If it's your dream to be a writer, then you go for it.

Katrina L. Thomson If I hit a little writer's block wall, I'll make notes on things I want to happen, whether it's far later in the story, or just a small idea. If I hit a large writer's block wall, I'll leave that story for a while, clear my mind of it and look at a different story, that way I can go back to the previous one with a new perspective.

Katrina L. Thomson I was making notes for a completely different story, when I suddenly had this image that there was this girl in a back garden and these wolves appear, one bites her but we don't which one and she's then sent to Scotland to be with a Pack. It was as simple as that, but it took me a longer time to figure out the rest.
