Fitting a writing routine into everyday life! As a stay at home mom to my two little boys, there are plenty of things that keep me busy. And there are plenty of things to suck my energy! Writing takes time and energy, which can be hard to come by for me these days with a 4 yr old and almost 1 yr old. But just like anything else, writing is important so I find time and energy for it.

I am a huge Sherlockian, and I wanted to introduce Holmes to young readers in hopes of creating a new generation of Sherlockians. When I was a kid I always wanted to be a detective like Holmes and wished there was a school I could attend that would teach me all that.

Write! And write. And write some more. Take your writing seriously and invest time and money in it like you would any other career or hobby. Own it

Writing allows me to pretend play in my imagination. It's so much fun to create my characters, what they'll do, etc and I get to play in my imagination all day!

I go with it. I've learned for myself that my block never lasts long and when I have it it's no good to force my creativity. When it passes my creativity kicks in full force, and I go with that too
