I'm inspired by everything. First off, I'm a big people-watcher. I like to listen to the way people speak and observe the types of clothes they wear and the mannerisms they display. These things are very inspiring to me. Other than that, I get a lot of inspiration from art, music, and the internet. You can find inspiration everywhere, you just have to learn how to see it!

Keep at it. In the long run, that's really all you can do. Writing isn't a walk in the park, but if it's something you love doing, then keep doing it and don't get disheartened when you aren't happy with what you've written. The real polish of the story comes with the editing.

Currently I'm working on the sequel to The Thief following one of Antares' brothers.

The Thief is a retelling of my favorite fairy tale, The Four Clever Brothers. I changed a lot of things, but that is definitely where I drew my inspiration from.

Well, I'm going to have to go with the writing part! It's just something I love doing. Aside from that, it's the opportunity to keep learning about everything from botany to archery.

Honestly, I don't have much of a problem with writer's block. If I'm having trouble writing something (whether it's a character, a scene, or a specific story) it's because there's something wrong with what I'm writing. Once I figure out what I don't like about it, I can change it and it's back to work!
