I don't believe in writer's block. There are days I struggle with writing. Many days, actually. But I've learned that if I just do the work set out in front of me, the rest will come. I love the analogy about 'writing being like a muscle.' I have to write every single day to find my flow. The more I write, the better the flow. If I stop, the muscle weakens and becomes a limp noodle. So, I write every single day whether I'm working on my blog, my journal or the next installment of the Black Blood Chronicles.(less)

I get to take these perfectly shaped characters and give them flaws, dilemmas, quirks, and feelings. I watch how they push their way through the pages and come alive. If he/she don't come alive, I'll kill the character. And I know how sick this sounds, but I get to control how they act, what they say and how the story ends. I'm a sucker for happy endings, but sometimes, happy endings aren't always in the cards.(less)

This morning the words came to me in a whisper when my body didn’t want to get out of bed: “Greatness isn’t given, it’s achieved.”Although I wasn’t able to writ Read more of this blog post »
