I would travel into the world of The Wheel of Time and join the Dark Tower and the fight against The Dark One. It would be exciting to use magic in the fight against good and evil. Of course it would be dangerous as well, but since we are reborn into the pattern of the wheel, I think that thought would outweigh the danger.

I'm thinking of taking up J. R. R. Tolkien again and reading The Hobit followed by The Lord of The Rings.

What driving force compelled me to change lanes late at night on the highway only to have a car fly past me going the opposite way in the lane I had been driving in.
Background information: I always drive in the fast lane and never, ever change lanes. That night though on that stretch of winding highway, for reasons I still can't explain to myself today, I changed lanes. About 30 to 45 seconds later, the car flew past me going the wrong way in the fast lane.

My favorite fictional couple would have to be Al and Peg Bundy. Even though Al is not a successful man, and in some people's eyes is considered a loser, she still loves him and that love has carried them throughout the years.

Many of the stories from my most recent book came from conversations with friends, in the course of the discussion, they would say something innocent and it would trigger a story idea. Others were dreams that I had. I often sleep with a pen and pad by my bed to write down interesting dreams to later develop into stories.

I love writing so finding inspiration to do something that you love is quite easy. I just love telling stories.

Write every day. If you have writer's block, then edit what you have already written. Most importantly, is to never give up, never stop sending your work out to potential publishers. Just because they say "no", it just means that what you have written is not right for them, not that it's not good.

The best thing about being a writer is that I get to do some things on paper that I would never think about doing in real life.

I'm usually working on more than one story/book at once, so if I get writer's block on one story, I'll usually switch to another.
