I am! I have a new dark fantasy manuscript finished and have started on a new idea that I'm not sure how to categorize yet. :)

Different things on different days.
A lot of caffeine + music is my default. Reading other books or watching a movie. A break can do wonders!

Write your heart out. Get the story out of your head, edit later. Find some great critique partners--listen to them, even if you don't take their advice. Read a lot. Keep going! Always, always keep going.

I write through writer's block. The work is always lacking in... everything, and is usually rife with notes to fill in certain things later, but it keeps the momentum moving along.

The idea for Fragile Chaos came when I saw a news article about the remains of a young Incan girl entombed in a shrine for 500 years. She had been given cocaine and alcohol before being sacrificed to the gods. It got me thinking about what she must have been going through at the time, and I found myself wondering, "what if, instead of dying, the sacrifice sent her to be with her gods?"
