My biggest inspiration has always been and probably always will be Stephen King. My mom read parts to my brother and me when we were younger, and when I was old enough to read King myself, I devoured whatever I could get my hands on.
R. L. Stine would be another. The Goosebumps series will always be fun no matter how old I get.

This sounds like a generic and bogus response, but as of now, I haven't had to deal with writer's block. If I hit a snag on a particular project, I simply move on to another and come back to finish it later.

The best thing about being a writer is escaping reality, exploring the deepest corners of your mind, bringing to life the creatures and nightmares that keep you awake at night.

My advice is simple: grow a cold heart, ignore your feelings, and keep writing. You're going to get rejected no matter what. But if you keep at it, eventually you're going to find the right person or people that believe in you and your writing.

Inspiration comes from everywhere. It can be a new spin on an old tale. It can come from something I see or hear or a conversation I may have. Anything around you can become your next inspiration...you just have to open up your eyes and ears.

The idea for my most recent book—the one I'm still working on—came while I was at work. I work at my local library and was reading over some of the back covers of books that piqued my interest and led me to thinking of how there were thousands of different worlds to be transported to inside a single library.
