I've always loved reading and writing since a young age. In 5th grade I read Gone with the Win and won an award. Apparently, that is not something someone that age should be able to do. But reading and writing has always been a big part of my life. It is who I am.

A NA Dystopian called Revelations. Unsure if the title will stick, but this is one complicated novel that requires a lot of detail and who new world that has to be built. It is my pride and joy. I can't wait to share it.

Never give up. No matter what.

Getting to know the character's in your head. They become almost like your best friends and they each have their own personality and no, I'm not a mental nutcase. It's the joy of escaping to a world, a new world that was created by myself and the character's that came to me in dreams or just came to me out of know where. Escape is bliss.

Stare blankly at the computer screen until I come up with something...Kidding. I write in scenes. I don't write from beginning to end. I write as the scenes come to me and then I carefully place them where they belong in the novel and add in what needs to be added to make it all come together. The character's will talk when they want to talk. You can't force them. For severe cases, I just write random plots that come to mind, until I can go back to the novel I'm working on. The biggest thing is, don't stop writing!
