I'm writing a book called "The Gemstone Garden", and I'm stumped! Where do you get ideas when you can't think of any?

Kelly Hashway When I'm stumped, I play the "what if" game and think of odd scenarios and what would happen in each. That usually helps get my creativity flowing.

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Kelly Hashway Ooh, that's a tough one. I think I'll have to go with Patch and Nora from the Hush, Hush series. I love them and how they battle so much to be together. Even though the series has been out for quite a while, Patch and Nora continue to have a special place in my heart.

I've been trying to build up a horror story myself. But I've been struggling to keep the flow of ideas. Any advises? I've posted the first five chapters of the story in my GR profile, by the way. You can check out anytime you want :) Thanks!

Kelly Hashway Sometimes when I get stuck in a manuscript I jump ahead. Skipping ahead to the climax or even the ending will get me excited about a story again, and I find it easier to go back and write the part that was tripping me up earlier. Everyone is different though. Perhaps you need to step away or work on something else until the story calls you back. I'd try different things to find what works for you. Good luck! :)

Are the Monster Within books a duology, or a trilogy? Just finished book 2, and wondering if there's any more to come. Thanks!

Kelly Hashway Hi, Shelley.

It's a duology—just The Monster Within and The Darkness Within. Thank you so much for reading the books.

I was wondering why the love all series was no longer availible. I play tennis and there are not many books about tennis. Where and is it possible to get it?

Kelly Hashway Fiona, the series was pulled and put back together as one book, as it was originally mean to be. It's also published under my pen name, Ashelyn Drake. The book is title Perfect For You. You can find it on Amazon, B&N, etc. :)

Hai Kelly. I have the worst case of writers block right now. I can see how I want the story to progress but the words just wont come out. Do you have any advice on how to work through writers block?

Kelly Hashway Shay, when this happens to me, I jump ahead in the story. Skip the part that's tripping you up and move on. Once you're past that part, you'll be able to go back and write it. Sometimes jumping around is what the brain needs to find those words again. I've even gone as far ahead as the climax because it's exciting to write and makes me fall in love with the story all over again.
I hope that helps!

I've started reading the Gone series. Have you read it?

Kelly Hashway No, I haven't read that one. Is it good?

Hey there Kelly! Hope you're doing well. I wanted to know if the vampire diaries was worth the read? That really good?

Kelly Hashway I've only read one of the books, and it's very different than the TV series. Some characters were changed/combined for the TV series. I definitely enjoyed the book though. Having said that, I didn't follow through with the series. There are just too many books on my TBR list right now and since I watch the TV series, I kind of let reading the books slide.
