After a few eye-opening years as a political journalist, followed by an outrageously fun time as a political speech writer, Laningham fell in love with the art of writing fiction. Her debut novel, A Glass of Crazy, placed in the top five percent of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.

It feels like it takes too long to develop a spectacular story idea, but once I have, and I've mapped it out on a plot graph, I can begin the fun part: writing. That's when the story and all of its surprising details flow easily.(less)

I feel more inspired to write when I'm in good shape physically. Eating well, long bike rides and walks in nature help me stay in shape and clear my mind. I love using voice memos and keep my iPhone handy just in case a great idea for a plot twist or an extraordinary character quote pops into my mind when I least expect it, like when I'm on the bike trail. If any part of the setting is in a location that's important to the plot, I'll travel there to understand the mood, culture and visual details of the specific streets and buildings before I write those scenes. In fact, I'm in the process of planning a trip to New York for a novel I'm currently writing. That will inspire me to write those scenes well. Because writing so much fun, it doesn't take much to inspire me. I'm happiest when I'm creating a well-built story that reveals the vulnerabilities and strengths in human nature.(less)
