What I do next is sit down and write a "What needs to happen" list, and I brainstorm possible scenarios. Usually by the end of the brainstorming session, I have a clearer picture of how to write the next few scenes. Another solution is meeting up with a friend and talking out the issues. Sometimes the story and my ideas become cluttered in my mind, and all I need is someone to remind me to focus.(less)

I also love how my mind thrives as the story falls into place, much like the feeling of working on a puzzle. It's exciting to finally come to "The End" after all's said and done (and written and revised and edited) and look in wonder at the final piece of work. Quite the feeling of accomplishment.(less)

Little Amish Girl Inspiration

Some stories come from imagination. Others grow from truths too deep to ignore. Little Amish Girl was born from both.

My mother was once a little Amish girl. She grew up in a strict Old Order Amish community in Indiana, where tradition ruled with quiet, unforgiving authority. Behind the kerosene lamps, home-baked goods, and reverent prayers lived pain that few outside the community ever saw. My mot Read more of this blog post »
