Continue to write. Write something different. Write something bad. Write the opposite of how you want a scene to go. Use prompt cards (i.e. Writer Emergency card). Use an online prompt generator for ideas. Ask other writers for advice. Go for a short walk. Get another cup of tea. Take your laptop to a coffee shop (i.e. change your location). Don't stop writing.

When someone reads something you've written and just says, wow. Also, when someone tells you they are your fan. Wow.

Write every day, even if it's just a few lines. Getting out of the habit of writing is BAD! Don't start too many new projects before finishing up with some old ones. Don't give up. Strive to improve your writing through workshops, blogs, websites, books, writing groups, and constantly writing.

I'm in the editing stages of a middle grade, post-apocalyptic, sick kid novel, about 3/4ths of the way through writing a cop thriller that has elements of the paranormal, and almost done with a apocalypse short story.

I get inspired to write through dreams, talking with friends and family, living life, and my writer's group (the Mid-Michigan Prose and Writing Group).

Miles From Manistique is based on a poem I wrote in high school and published in our school's literary magazine entitled "The Freezing Disease."
