Since I was a small child I've always lived in an imaginary world. When I'm writing, the characters come alive in my mind and actually become friends and people I feel that I know. If I'm suffering from writer's block, I try to have imaginary conversations with the characters or ask them where they would go or what should happen next. Often though, I find that writer's block is when I know I should be taking the book in a certain direction or write about a sensitive topic but I'm afraid of how the reader might respond. I'm trying to be true to the story and tell it as honestly as possible. Also, a good drive around late at night always cures my writer's block!

I love your BookTube channel. I love how genuine you are, and how diverse your reading is. I love all types of books myself. I see that you are reading "Helter Skelter" I've been thinking of reading that too, you inspired me to go ahead and get it from my local library. I'll be starting it tonight, do you think people would join if I started a Goodreads discussion group on this book? Would you join?
