The most effective means that I have found to combat writer's block is to take a walk, to get out of my own head for a while, and attempt to see the world through the eyes of my characters. More often than not writer's block occurs when a specific element of the story or the character has not been fully developed. Stepping outside of yourself for a while and walking through the mind of your character will usually solve the problem.

The best part about being a writer is getting to research a wide variety of subjects; the constant education that goes with exploring different ideas and topics.

I am always most inspired by music and getting away from my everyday life.

This last novel came to me while I was travelling down the west coast from Vancouver to Los Angeles by train. The combination of the movement of the train, the conversations that I was having with fellow passengers, and the music that I was listening to inspired several characters to come to life, from there the story elements just seemed to fall in place.
