I try to take in as much inspiring information as possible. Movies, comics, shows, books. Art can't exist in a vacuum.

If I'm blocked by a specific problem, I may leave it alone for a while and come back to it later. Read how other authors tackled a similar challenge.

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)

This book was great. This author fell into her own book; but this novel isn't written in only her POV--we also get the POV of the fictional man she's falling in love with. I thought that was cool, and the whole thing was a super-cute clean read.

I read this thinking it was a romance for some reason. … it's not so much. Romance is definitely not a central plot, more like a subplot. Which is fine. Just not what I was expecting.

It's a great adventure with a great redemp

I am a fan of this author and received an ARC. In my own opinion, this book gave me all the feels.

The book did start off a little slowly for me; it took longer than usual for me to warm up to the characters. But once I cou

Breathe in.... And out....

The retreat was definitely weird. The love story was slow and warm. Enjoyed it. Clean with kisses only and no foul language. Beautiful descriptions and hilarious comparisons.
