If something inspires me, I write about it, forgetting the linear approach. When enough of those scenes are created, ways of connecting them to my plot start jumping out at me.

Also, I listen to music. I create a soundtrack for each novel and link each song to a character or scene. You can't believe how that relaxes my mind and triggers new ideas!(less)

To create stories, I visit places that are off the beaten path, read things that normally wouldn't catch my eye and talk with people who have different backgrounds than me. Simply put, I keep learning new things.(less)

Interview with the Organelles

Picture My friends, Brad and Jen, have an eleven-year-old son named Max. This picture is from several years ago when all of us met up in San Francisco for lunch. Watching Max grow into an intelligent, kind young man has been a privilege.

“You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge.”
Danielle LaPorte

“The things you are passionate about are not random. They are your calling.”
Fabienne Frederickson

“What in your life is calling you,
When all the noise is silenced,
The meetings adjourned...
The lists laid aside,
And the Wild Iris blooms
By itself
In the dark forest...
What still pulls on your soul?”
Melvana Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.”
Rumi
