No matter what may come along that seems to threaten your creative side, keep on keeping on. You have a story to tell the world, so get on with the task of doing just that. And make sure to be disciplined enough to set time aside every day or night to write.

I have to be perfectly honest and say that, to date, I have NEVER suffered from writer's block. My problem, actually, has been the very opposite—a far too active imagination, and fingers that cannot type quick enough.

After 8-9 years of research and numerous rewrites, I am about to hand off my new book to a professional editor. THE ARCHER'S DIARY is over 154,000 words and is Book 1 of a 2-book historical fiction set. This is my initial foray into this genre. Book 1 should be released by mid-2020.
