I don't really get inspired to write. The desire to write is just there. I have always loved creating my own versions of other people's work (fanfiction) and I just need to write. At least 500 words a day.

Write every day. Even if what you are writing is unrelated to your project, you just never know when it could fit into something bigger.

I have two favourite parts of being a writer. The first is being able to disappear into another world (the same with being a reader). The second is the reader's reviews. I love hearing what people have to say, good or bad.

Long walks with headphones on to drown out the outside world sometimes works. Pinning inspirational tips and writing prompts on Pinterest helps. Or 2 hour phone conversations with my "idea coordinator" (my best friend).
