I'm in talks with a movie producer as I write this! 😏

Couple of things that keep me inspired.
1) I read as much as I can. I watch movies and TV as much as I can. I listen to music constantly. I read and collect comic books. I go to museums. I travel. I spend time with family and friends. I spend lots of time with my wife. All of these things inspire me!
2) I make sure to schedule time to write and I try to make that time as enjoyable as possible. I need space alone. I need music most of the time to write, so I have my stereo or I use headphones. I need snacks and coffee and water. And if I have notes, then I can accomplish what I need to do in the hour or so that I write. If I can write 400 - 600 words in my hour or so of time, then I've had a productive session. If I'm undisturbed, then it's usually an enjoyable and inspiring time for me.

I can possibly read it after the new year. I'm currently writing a new novel and have limited time for outside projects at the moment. But I would be happy to take a look after Jan 1, 2020. Send me a message on Goodreads and we can exchange contact info. Do you provide review copies?

You're welcome? :)

Well, a concise answer depends on where in Texas you want to move. Texas is a very big, diverse state. I've lived mostly in San Antonio and now Austin, where I have lived for almost 30 years.
What I have encountered across the state is that most people are very friendly, so there is a welcoming quality you'll find statewide. There isn't a state income tax, making employment here very desirable. And housing is affordable in most places, although Austin is seeing a rise in housing costs due to its popularity.
I hope this helps. :)
