Last week, I discovered a dead body in the wood shed next to my house, and launched an investigation. I had a suspect in mind. With my husband's help, we reviewed several days of security camera footage. The victim was a wild bunny, and the perp, who we busted on camera, was the Bengal cat who lives across the road. We were relieved to know it hadn't been a cougar. Case closed!

I sat by a lake with a notepad and did a free association exercise with words. I wrote down the number 13, which is the current book's place in a series, and my associations with that number. The number led to ideas about bad luck and fate, plus some other stuff that must have been gathering a while in my subconscious... or dropped on me by the muses. When I found an idea that scared me a little, I knew it was the one.

I started writing for the pure joy of writing, without a career in mind. The enjoyment of the writing itself has always fueled me from within, in a way that external rewards can't. My advice is to find that joy, no matter what stage you're at.

When I feel blocked, it's usually because some plot element I have planned in a story isn't quite right, so I take a break to reassess and consider a different approach.
