I could, but how about four sentences instead? I'm feeling the four sentences.
She was warm there beside me. Now I turn my cheek, and it peels from the pillow; sticky, visceral, cold. I don't want to open my eyes.
She's still there beside me, but I know she's been dead a long time.

As of 2023: I have two finished full length novels in two new series with the status of fully edited and complete but being packaged for agents or avenues other than self-publishing. The fifth and final volume of my long running Realm of Night series, Heart of Darkness, is also nearing complete and will be coming out later this year.

There is never a time, at least for me personally, where I am incapable of writing anything at all if I sit down and commit to it. That does not mean I am always in the right mood or mindset to write what I want to and what I should be working on. I find the blank page to be more comforting actually, because it has so much potential, so even if no progress is happening with my current book that day I might jot down a quick poem, or a conversation between two new characters, or some world-building backstory or plot outline of something completely different, just to get some juices flowing. Watching, listening to, or reading a great new story in my genre also frequently gives instant inspiration, and the second an idea strikes it's best to go ahead and write it. Don't put it off till later. Get it down while it's fresh.
