Wonderful question! Thankfully, I have no shortage of ideas, but I have to make myself focus and set aside time to write. I’m all in once I start writing a new novel. Sometimes that may mean for hours at time. It is difficult for me to turn it off. In writing historical fiction the research inspires me. I love visiting other places to write, especially locations from the book. I enjoy chatting with historians for unexpected inspiration.
Two of my favorite places to write in St. Louis are Forest Park and the Missouri Botanical Garden. There’s something about putting a pen to my notebook surrounded by towering trees and flowers that’s different from typing in my office.
