Start writing now! Don't worry if it's the best thing you've ever written. Just start! Then learn craft. Character development. Story building. All that stuff. And let other people read your work and get excited for you.
But don't let the fear of being mediocre stop you from starting!

When I have writers block, I sit down at my computer, set a 15 minute timer, and write without stopping. It forces me to think on the fly, come up with new angles, and even has helped me create some of the most fun characters or situations that are in my books!

Playing A LOT of video games when I was a kid certainly helped, but the idea for this series of books came from a video game I tried to make as a teenager. It was on a really great program called RPG Maker, which is still around today on Steam!
The inspiration from that game came from spending way too much time in a Dragonlance based chat room, which always sounds so funny saying.

Currently I'm working on the eighth book in my Legends of GIlia series! I'm really excited because that means I've over half-way done with the series as I envisioned it!
