I wrote the first 9 chapters, and realized that I did not know what direction to go next. The next time I picked the book up to finish it, I prayed about it, and I had dreams that appeared to me like a movie. I would keep a pad and pen by the bed, and write it exactly as I saw it in my dreams.

To answer your question, when I am experiencing writer's block, I almost always go to a movie. I need to draw inspiration from other sources, or events that are going on in the world. I have to walk away from a project, regroup, and then proceed with my work.(less)

They had such an on-screen chemistry, that people thought of them as a real life couple. The show was funny, and their interactions relatable. "Martin" is still a great show, in my opinion!(less)
