My biggest inspirations come from stories that I know are waiting to be told. I love the idea of working figures from real-life history and imagining scenes and scenarios that might have been. I love looking at old photographs, paintings, news clippings--knowing that those little bits of truth are just the tip of rich fodder for fiction!

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
