If I'm having a problem with a particular book, I will switch to another book I have been considering. I can't let frustration affect my creativity so I channel my energies in another direction and in most cases, the solution to my original story comes to me. (less)

First, I am retired so the BEST thing is doing what I want, when I want. I can now do what I couldn't do before - let my imagination flow on paper.

Lastly, I write because I love to write, not for the money (what money, my husband asks). It warms my heart when a reader will comment that they liked my story, characters or style.(less)
