Rena Manse Wow, are you kidding me?! I think I have to plug in Amelia Pond and Rory Williams from Doctor Who as placeholder until I can think of someone better.

These two were just dynamic and stayed together. He was never the 'cool' guy, but she loved him 'til the end of life.
Rena Manse Haha. I don't!

The longest block lasted a year, and I was 3/4 way through the story, so we only pray that doesn't happen again.
Rena Manse Sharing my story.

...which, of course, is also the scariest thing.
Rena Manse Currently, as in October 2014, I'm trying to clear my head of K&M in order to concentrate on the world of Bren and Cole.
Rena Manse For fiction, write it how you feel it. You can clean it up later, but the characters have to become breathable people to you; so let them live their lives, and you just write down what they do.
Rena Manse Anything can spark me to form a story. I could build one around a personality, a situation, a sentence fragment I overheard, a 'what if' moment, the list could go on and on.

How do I actually sit down and write? Well, when I find out I'll let you know. I have about six story ideas and no time!

Yes, I often wish I were a full-time writer. :)
Rena Manse Keir and Myah's story rattled around in my brain for a couple of years before it actually made it to 'paper'. It really came about because I wanted a hero who was sweet, tough, damaged, and shy, and had no idea just how adorable he was because he was too busy simply living life (or trying to).

It just took awhile for his character to form. Meanwhile I needed a type of woman who could be strong enough to take him, yet compliment him enough.
