I think I'm always inspired to write though lots of times a snippet of something I see on Tv or something I read or see. I draw inspiration from just about everywhere.

A Dark Fantasy novel (The Hand of The Godslayer) The story is a love letter to my childhood as weird as that sounds. I studied lots of mythology watched Conan The Barbarian a million times as well as The Red Sonja and various other movies and Television shows in the tradition of Robert E. Howard's legendary protagonist. THOGS is a modern day pulp novel in that vein.

Keep writing keep reading always be refining your craft and never write when you don't enjoy it.

Creation of worlds, characters, far off lands and legends, it's the ability to take the blank page and make it into whatever I will that drives me to write and helps me sleep at night. Lol

I tend to just write straight through it, about a year ago I would just freeze up and stop writing sometimes for days. Now I literally continue putting words on the page until something positive comes from it. (I edit out all.of the garbage later)
