Christopher J. Thomasson was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1972. His family permanently settled in the piney woods of East Texas when he was two years old. He discovered a love for reading and writing at a very young age and until recently, only ever wrote for himself, his family, and his closest friends.

In April 2013, at the age of 40, Christopher suffered a mild heart attack while on the tennis court. Within a couple of days, he was undergoing triple-bypass surgery. Because of his love for tennis and the increased active lifestyle the sport provided, the doctors informed him of a miracle: with the clotting in his veins, his heart created new vessels to transport blood to those areas of the heart that were being depleted...and as a result of

There are those days though where I'm just not feeling it. I have so many ideas and several projects go on, but on these days nothing I write sounds good or even appeals to the project...it's stale and I can't overcome it. So what do I do to drive through this writer's block?

I turn to social media in search of writing prompts. I set my project aside and start fresh with something else using those prompts. I try to limit my creativity to something short because the last thing I need is another expansive project. Using the prompts I find I'll write a short scene, describe a character, or write a poem that includes the prompt.

In some cases, I have to wade through one or two dozen different prompts before one pops onto my radar and my brain starts churning the creative possibilities.

Something else I've discovered to help push through writer's block is answering questions (such as the one's found here on Goodreads). Detailing an answer to a question is not only a good way to start the writing process, it's also a creative way to journal your writing life-cycle. I always find it interesting to come back to something like this, say - a year from now, and see how my mind has changed over the course of that year (or stayed of the same opinion). Then I can answer that question again and see how my thinking has changed over the course of the year.

While I did finish the 50K word count by the end of November to succeed with the writing challenge, I didn't actually finish the book until the first of February. For the past few months I have been editing and working on the rewrite. I'm hoping it will be ready for publication before the end of the year.

Another project is a book of micropoetry that I am compiling from posts I have made on Twitter. The book will be called NUGGETS and as of this writing I have close to 500 micropoems to include within its pages.

I'm also working on edits and rewrites to a variety of short stories to publish in a collection of their own called BEYOND THE CLOSET DOOR.

Finally, I currently have first drafts being written for two different novels. I'm not sure how I'm doing it but so far I'm having no trouble at all switching from one story line to the other.(less)
