Goodreads asked me this 10 months ago. Every time I see it on my Author Dashboard, that niggling question would eat at me. Well, NOW I have an answer!
*Drum roll*
The idea of the story, novel, series, whatever it is, sinks its vicious teeth in me and doesn't let go until I have written it down on paper. From there, my works come alive in all their shining glory.

By far the best thing is learning how much readers enjoyed your book. That as well as seeing your name on a print book for the first time! It's a brilliant feeling. Indescribable really.

Funnily enough, I've never had to deal with writer's block. I normally write down my book ideas (which I have dozens) that I have never faced this problem. What I can say, is that where some of the block occurs, is when I'm sorting out how the protagonist escapes a particular event. That process of getting my character out of a tight spot can sit with me for hours, days, even weeks before the shining light suddenly pops up into my head.
