Started as a very simple alien invasion story with the MC kicking butt and saving the day. Cliches included!
At its core it is still about the MC kicking alien butt. It sort of evolved from there though, as I wanted to expand the story and see where it would go.

Not sure. Sometimes I don't want to write, but force myself to sit down and do it. Afterwards I feel so much better. I love imagining stories, but it's not easy getting them out of my head.

Rough draft for book 2. Still 15 to 20k short. Continuing to outline book 3 as well, and writing down ideas for additional spin-offs, as well as a completely new series.

Sometimes you just have to put your work out there. It is one of the best ways to learn. I spent years working on my first book. Last year I decided it was time to let the world see it, or throw it out.
And of course, keep writing!

For me it is about being creative and problem solving. Nothing is better than writing myself into a corner and finding the solution.

Sometimes I'll just write whatever comes to mind. Even if it doesn't fit in with where my story was supposed to be headed. That will spur my creativity, or in some cases, let me see other paths and send me in a completely new direction I hadn't thought of.
In other cases I have had to put the story aside for weeks while my brain stews on it! Usually happens when I write myself into a corner.
