Be on the lookout for a follow-up to AWGW, a novella entitled "Aftermath".

I very rarely experience writer's block. I try not to force myself to write when I'm not "feeling it". That isn't to say I don't get stumped on a plot point from time to time or even how a single sentence should sound, I find it's best to take a step back and come back to writing later when I get to those points. You can't force your mind to cooperate and sometimes it needs a break!

To create a whole new world and to weave a tale is a very liberating and empowering experience. To see people enjoy your stories and provide their feedback and personal theories is always a treat. The feeling of seeing someone have a genuine emotional response to your writing is indescribable.

Just write! Don't get discouraged and take criticism as you get it. Never be afraid of the punches. Whatever your first draft is will always be inferior to the final product you put out, so never let little things during the process get you down. Always strive for a positive mindset and be confident in yourself.

In between finishing up college and being a dad I am beginning to flesh out the next books in the series. I tend to load up my plate a bit more than I should, so honestly, the best answer is: a lot.

Honestly? Many different things inspire me to put words to paper. Sometimes I alter my mind a bit, sometimes it's like a stroke of lightning. When the urge is there, it is hard to ignore.

A World Gone Wrong first came about when I was a teenager and has taken many forms before the final piece was actually written. I spent a lot of my spare time writing and my many table top gaming sessions eventually spawned the "world" as it exists today.
