There are so many stories out there about those who are oppressed rising up and challenging the current establishment of whatever period in time the main protagonist is in. My thought was, ''what if someone who was in the echelon of that particular society wanted to change things?'' That's basically where the idea of The Compound came from. It is a story about someone who has all the advantages and yet doesn't agree with the means of how he was able to obtain them.

Writing was always something I enjoyed doing but never saw as a possible career path. At first, writing was just a stress release. It was something I would do after coming home from a long day at work. It got to the point where writing became and every day routine and, when the story in my head started coming together, I was even more determined to finish. Now, I have so many ideas in my head that I wish I had more hours in the day to do nothing but write!

I am currently working on a sequel to my first book: The Compound: A Novus Octo Novel.

Write stories that you yourself would like to read. If it's something that will entertain you, then you will enjoy writing it that much more. Also, realize that it's OK to make mistakes. Write down as many ideas as you can even if they don't make any sense at all and work out the details later. It's amazing how clear a thought or idea becomes once it comes from your head and put down on paper or the computer screen.

The best thing about being a writer is, when you put pencil to paper, you are bound by absolutely nothing. The world is yours to create and change as you see fit. There are no rules that need to be followed other than the ones you create in your own head.

I've found the best way to deal with writer's block is to put whatever you're working on down for a few days and try not to even think about it. Focus your mind somewhere else or on something else and, before you know it, an idea or two will pop in to your head and you're back to writing.
