Sometimes just by sitting on your ideas for a few hours or days. Thinking it through as best you can and then trying to write again. If that doesn't work, still write. Often, ideas come flooding just by putting your fingers on a keyboard.

Sharing your life values and inspiration with your readers. Believing that someday, possibly even after my death, someone could read my book and accept my values or beliefs to help them through their own lives.

Don't quit. Learn all there is about writing. Read, read, read. Then take all you have learned, all your ideas and inspiration and do it. You won't regret it.

My second novel is in the works. It is about two elderly sisters who are forced together because of illness. One is a democrat, the other...a republican. Aiming to finish writing on March 31, editing until May, with a summer 2015 publishing date.

I have always loved books. As a first grader, I won a contest reading 100 books one winter. That was the beginning of my love of reading, which soon led to my love to write. All through my grade school and high school years, I penciled out many different ideas for novels. When asked in college what I really wanted to do was...to write a book. The need to earn money led me to writing for local newspapers. So many stories, so many personalities, each one of these inspire me to write every single day.

My parents and I used to vacation in upper Michigan and would often take trips to Mackinac Island which is the setting of my book, "Under the Windowsill." I then thought of young girls who might lead an overly sheltered life. What would happen if a young girl, who'd never ventured far from home, would run away? Even better, what would happen if she hid while doing it? That was the beginning of my idea for creating "Under the Windowsill."
