There's no such thing as writer's block. I am always capable of sitting at the keyboard to write. Sometimes I don't write as well as I would like, but that's a different issue.

I get to choose my own hours. If wake up at 3am because I have an idea, then I'm free to go to my computer to write it down. And if I decide to knock off work at 11am, I can. Being a writer means being free to live your life as you see fit.

Writing comes out of reading. Write the kind of stories or articles or poems you like to read.

This novel began with an image. I imagined a teenage girl running through the woods with a bow in her hand. After I wrote the paragraph, I realized it was the beginning of a story.

I've always enjoyed reading fantasy novels. During covid, I found myself with a lot of time on my hands, so I started writing one. It turned out that a lot of issues I've always been concerned about, such as family, teenagers, climate change, and good and evil came out in the telling.
