I am working on a resource package to accompany my latest upcoming YA novel , Mysteries…

Novel Evolution

Whether you’re a plotter or a pantser your story, from the moment you have an idea, your book will go through several evolutionary changes. Make note of those changes because they will help you in subsequent endeavors.

Inspiration

Without being inspired it's almost impossible to write a book, that's why I use anything I can to be inspired, but the number one thing that inspires me is Music, every time I hear I great song a movie starts to play in my head which is the idea of the story I want to write, sometimes my pet can inspire me too, but I think music does the most for me.

Is creativity a curse?

Being an author has its good and bad points. As a creator, when the words flow its an amazing feeling that you have invented new prose to entertain and help escapism to people who do not work at their dream job.

 

The down side to being creative is that you're constantly nagged by ideas, stories and characters.
