"The Princess Bride" by William Goldman, "The Ickabog" by J.K. Rowling, "Cursed Objects" by J.W. Ocker, "The Turn of the Screw" by James Henry, and Janell Smiley’s book “…As Long As You Don’t Turn Them Into Weirdos" are a few. I have a really long list.

It helps me to stop writing and to go do something else, like read or take a walk. I usually have anywhere from two to five stories that I'm working on. When I'm stuck on one of them, I just move onto the next one and see where that goes.

Several things. Mostly Children's pictures and chapter books. I don't want to give too much away just yet, but the three top stories that I've been working on are about Pirates, Dinosaurs, and a talking cat.

Life. There are so many interesting and funny things that happen on a daily basis. Whether it's an overheard conversation, personal experience, or maybe something I've read that sparks an idea, there's just so much scope for the imagination in everyday things.
