My biggest advice is to read others works. Not only in the genre or genres you write in, but others you might not of thought of.
I love an eclectic selection of genres. Of course I love erotica, Steampunk and paranormal romance but, I also love thrillers, horror stories, autobiographies, romance and much more.
I love the use of words and settings, look at pace too. A book can be mediocre when an author writes all at one pace.
Listen to others, other authors can be a resource and not competition.

I am currently working on a couple of projects including a children's book under another name, and the first in a series of books. The next book out will be a paranormal erotic romance set on the steampunk world of Syros, called The Prophecy Unfolds (Dragon Queen).
There will be a minimum of three in this series of books. I will be posting an excerpt from this book once editing is complete and my beta readers have given me feedback.

My inspiration comes in many forms. From the books I love to read, programmes I love to watch and films too. I pull ideas and words through these sources and make lists and notes to help me remember. I am a list maker. Lists of words, lists of characters and places.

My most recent book idea was through a dream I had to be honest. I made some notes and then expanded the idea through building the characters, in and around the world of Syros which is a Steampunk world full of some of my favourite types of paranormal urban characters such as werewolves and dragons.

I can only speak about myself, but I just love to write and put my thoughts and feeling down on paper. It, like reading, takes me to another world, another place and another time. I can be my characters and act out, and experience things I probably never would in reality.

I had this earlier on the year, but it was because of my home circumstances and once I had got my head back together the words began to just flow again.
I think if you aren't in a good place it is difficult to write. I am not in the best place just now, just a bit of a better place.
