I've also found writing groups helpful. After reading my work there (and getting encouraging feedback. Positive feedback!), I often feel inspired to write more.(less)

They say write what you want to read, so I did.

"Rapunzel's Prince" was partly inspired by "Ender's Shadow," by Orson Scott Card. I found parallel novels fascinating, and I began to wonder what the prince was doing the whole time he was away.(less)
