I don't force it. I'll take a break and come back to a project. Lots of times I'll work on something else until I feel inspired to work on it again.

I get to do the thing that I like to do the most. I actually look forward to going to work, and will often jump right in and work on a story without changing out of my pajamas. Sometimes I don't even get dressed (when I'm on a creative roll).

Be yourself. Let your personality shine in your work. Don't be afraid to write about anything you want. Don't be afraid of critics or bad reviews. Do your thing.

I'm working on several projects, including a sequel to my first book, Rescue in Arabia, and a book of satirical essays. I also have a blog, Musings of a Middle-Aged Miscreant, on my website, and I post updates every Mon., Weds., and Fri. My blog: https://marlabuchanan13.wordpress.com/

I'm a long-time fan of the 1970's sitcom, Sanford and Son, and one of my favorite characters is 'Aunt Esther,' the sister-in-law of the show's main character, Fred Sanford. I thought that it would be fun to write a book in Esther's 'voice.'
