I have a sister-in-law who used to have a daily column in a large newspaper. She didn't have the option of waiting for inspiration, she had to write a column, Every. Single. Day. I don't *have* to produce good quality stuff every single day, thank goodness, but I have always kept that in mind.
I know the book isn't going to write itself, so I just do it. That's not to say I write good stuff every time I sit down to write, but I do find that ideas come as I write, as I make that connection between brain and page.
If I'm really stuck on a specific problem I sometimes take a few days away and my subconscious mind inevitably solves it. There's a kind of *ping* and I say, "That's it!" and then I get back to work.(less)
Krista Wallace Well... My mum asked for a family meeting, and we never got around to it before she died. I will always wonder what she wanted to say.

Cover Reveal

I am so pleased with the way the cover of Book Four turned out. Special thanks to Miriam Dumitra for their artistic eye and helpful tips. My family are all very good at sharing their thoughts, which I appreciate. And Jonathan Lyster did the title lettering, as I didn’t have the bevel function in my software, and could NOT figure out the gradient. Thanks, J!

I am reading Penny's work out of order, because that's how I'm getting my hands on them. I really liked all the family drama in this book, because it sure gave insight into Peter Morrow's character, and why he behaves the way he does.
