How to get inspiration and deal with writer's block
So many people ask me how I deal with Writer's Block and how I come up with inspiration for my books. I didn't realize how prevalent Writer's Block and lack of inspiration were until a few years into my writing career, when I had connected with several authors and everyone and their dog complained about it. I'm not saying I have the end all solution for everyone—I think the solution is different f

Did not finish. Maybe I will finish at some later date, but the story was too slow for me. I know this is a classic and I should have liked it, but I was bored reading it. The writing is good and the characters well-developed, so hence the 2, but it

“It is easy to blame the person responsible for the crime, to hate them and despise them, but when we sit idly by and watch evil happen right before our very eyes and become bound to the person by hate, we become co-conspirators of the wrong.”

“Passing him with frightening speed, I see him sailing downward with his open parachute. “It won’t open!”
“Pull harder!”
Looking down, I estimate that at this speed it will only be a matter of seconds before I collide with the black lava rocks below. They rigged it! is all I can think. President Volkov won. I lost. I failed Gemma. I failed Nicholas. I failed myself.
All of a sudden, someone rams into me from behind and hooks his arms and legs around my body. I look back and see Cory. “You’re crazy!” I scream as we spin out of control.
“I know!” He smiles like he really is, but he feeds off of this kind of insanity. “Hold on!”
The ground is so close and I can see the green grass and smell the scent of it mixed with the sulfur. He helps me turn around and I lock my arms around his thick shoulders, my legs around his firm hips. We’ll die together, and he doesn’t seem to care one bit. He really is insane!”

“Well, as I see it, the only way to win is to play the game and beat everyone at it. And I mean, who’s to say you can’t make your own rules?” I say.
“Spoken like a true outlaw,” Nicholas retorts.
I smirk, a little guiltily. “I suppose. Thank goodness you went along with it. Anyone else would have refused to register me or left me to Master Douglas.” Shivers go up my spine.
“Partners in crime.”
I laugh at first, but then think about it. “That’s kind of sad.”
“Or exciting.” He stares at me for a moment. “Well, speaking as your registrar, you need to get some rest.”
“Are you ever going to let me have any fun?” I ask.
“Not until the sun stops shining.”
“Well, technically it goes down every night…” I say.
“Not in this country.”
