Nancy Kreml loves to wander around the world, but the place she knows best is the coast of South Carolina, where she kayaks, swims, and hangs out with friends and family. When she can't be there, she spends time in California and Chicago, and at home in Columbia, where she works with meditation groups in prisons. She's also found doing yoga, cooking and gardening, playing board games, and most of all reading and talking about what she's read. She started writing when she learned how to hold a pencil, and has been at it ever since, with works ranging from novels, short stories, and poetry to college textbooks. Another book in the Dead in the Water series should be available by 2017. ...more

Even if you write crap, for a long time, at least you're writing. And down somewhere in your brain, the idea machine responds to the activity going on, and eventually you get an idea for writing something you do like. It also helps to set a specific time to write--every day is best, but once a week is better than not at all. And meeting a friend to write can help you keep that time focused on writing, if you go somewhere with no internet and if both of you commit to no talking, just writing, for a couple of hours.(less)
