SuperGym has been in the works for over 5 years. It actually began as a musical. I've struggled for most of my life with my weight and diet and exercise. I know that many women do. There is so much misinformation and crazy diet trends out there. I started to think about the impossible goals set for women and how it is used to measure our worth. A future where everyone is striving to become perfect seemed like the ideal setting for a dystopian novel.

I have several projects in various states of completion. Mainly, I am working on a musical and revising an old book. I've also started a new play and am beginning to outline my next book.

Grow a thick skin and never give up. No one else can tell your story, and there are people out there waiting to read your words.

Getting the stories out of my head. I constantly have one or two stories in my mind with several more waiting in the wings. I need to write in the way that I need to sleep, eat, and breathe. Writing is like meditation for me. It clears my mind and dulls the clamor of my thoughts.

Get moving. Hiking, biking, running...anything to get me outside and away from the computer. Nature soothes me. Long, hot showers also help. I've come up with the ideas for most of my stories and plays in the shower. If these things don't help, I just free write until something catches my interest.
