Writer's block is a very real thing! Sometimes it's like my fingers are glued to the keyboard and they can't move. My mind goes blank.

I keep a notebook with writing ideas. Every time I think of something I feel will make a good story, I write the ideas in my little book. On those days when my fingers won't move, I get out my notebook and find something that interests me. I just start writing. Even if my writing seems jumbled and not coming together, I keep writing. Nine times out of ten, I pull together a story. Then I go back, clean it up and tweak it.

The thought of a full moon on October 31st sparked my imagination and that evening I started writing my Halloween short story The Witch's Moon.

A lot of times my ideas come to me at night when I'm trying to fall asleep. A few times I've dreamed about a story, but forgot it by morning because I didn't make time to write it down.(less)

Paws, Clues, and Cozy Crimes

Writing a cozy mystery with animals is a little like hosting a tea party in a garden that may or may not contain a secret tunnel. On the surface, everything feels warm and inviting: a charming small town, a curious sleuth, a quirky cast of neighbors, and at least one animal with a personality big enough to steal every scene. But underneath that cozy blanket, the plotting has to be tight, clever, a
