A.J. CERNA is an author, film-lover, gamer, and all-around story junkie. Like any healthy kid, he grew up imbibing fantasy novels, anime, manga, and movies, and realized at a young age that writing stories was the best way one could spend their time.

Rarely am I inspired when I jump in. Instead, I sit down at my computer at the same time every day and work. After a few weeks, my mind was conditioned to start working at the same time every day. Once I'm in a piece, usually around 10 minutes in without interruption, I have finally become inspired and engaged. Outside of the initial idea stages when a concept first comes into my head, I rarely get inspired to sit down and start writing.(less)
