How do you get inspired to write?
T.R. Tells I listen to music, I watch anime, I read. Some of those ideas form and mix together, creating several ideas, and then finally a garbled mess. I don't ever understand them until I let it fester and stir, they then become an idea. From there, I research, and design a play list as I imagine my scenes, and then continue to watch different anime or tv shows.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
T.R. Tells Write something you love or aspire, that excites you, and do it not for a thousand people or a million people, or even money (even though those are good things too) but because ONE person and ONE review makes you smile, makes that person glad they read your book. Most importantly though, don't ever give up, and don't EVER stop reading. You can only get better if you keep trying and you keep reading.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
T.R. Tells Having people read your books, of course! But also seeing their smiling faces or having conversations with them about your book that make you giddy and excited (I know I get excited when I talk about writing). I just want to make one person to smile and for me to talk to that person, let them know we have similar interests (my writing, the things I talk about, and if anything random pops up!)

How do you deal with writer’s block?
T.R. Tells Writer's block is hard and can be an ultimate pain - sometimes it stays for a longtime, however, sometimes it doesn't. I usually stop what I'm doing and I just do something else (yes, that may seem mundane) but when I watched anime or read a book, even listened to music I thought of ideas for my story. Not everything will work for everyone, so honestly, whenever you feel stuck just do something else you like doing (sleeping, eating, whatever) I guess when you aren't THINKING about writers block it tends to open up to you a little more!
