I am reading several non fictional books about criminal psychology novels for research. For pleasure, I've been reading John Grisham's The Reckoning.

As the house's alarm rang out in the still of the night, my mother whispered from my bedside to not go downstairs. My mother died five years ago.

This question was a hard for me, and I spent some time thinking of the answers. Over my life, I had several things that had happened that I believe would make a good plot for a book. I did settle on one thing.
When I was younger, my best friend died. At the time, I was not told what she died from because the disease was "looked down upon." My friend could not help that she was born with this and ultimately she did die from it. I believe that the time that we spent together, innocently enjoying our adolescence, and the terrible phone call my mother received when my friend passed away would make for a sad yet gripping novel.

There comes the point in your life when you need to sit down and only write. Ignore the distractions that can make it easy to procrastinate: social media, TV, and even an open window to look outside. These things make it so you can put off your writing. Simply write.

I am currently working on another romance. This one will not be suspense, however. I don't want to give the plot away.

I get inspired by observing the nuances of everyday life. Whenever I go out, I watch the others around me.

Writer's block is a horrible thing to go through. I truly believe that a writer experiences such a block because he or she lacks self-confidence in their writing or themselves.
I do not stop working on the piece. If I find it difficult to pen the scene, I will work on notes for it. For example, I had trouble with one of the scenes in the upcoming novel: Midgard. I brainstormed on where I wanted the scene to go in the document section of Scrivener.
