Most times, it's making the time to sit down and write. Other times, I'll ride or walk out to an interesting place with a notebook and pen. Being somewhere different can be very inspiring as long as I have a little peace.

I'm glad you asked. I am currently working on Dark Little Women Book 2: Out of the Looking Glass.

I could write about anything, so I never truly have "writer's block". That doesn't mean it's always good. I just start writing anything that comes to mind. Sometimes it's bad and needs to be thrown in the 'to be deleted pile'. Most of the time it leads to good things.
Another great way to get the creative juices flowing is to go for a walk and just day dream.
If you can't get out of the house, try taking a picture walk of images that interest you. Maybe you will find something that strikes your fancy and conjures up ideas?
