Laura Morgan Most of my creativity happens right before I fall asleep. Over the years I've perfected the art of not forgetting the new plot details I thought up the night before, but I have also been known to jump out of bed to make notes at 3am! The next day I sit down with the story firmly in my mind, and I write down the next piece of the tale.
Laura Morgan Don't get bogged down with the details, just sit and let your hands move over the keys. What comes at first might not be great, it might even be terrible, but once you find your flow and your writing voice you'll be happy and ready to carry on. It's better to edit something terrible than never have written anything at all. Write your story just for you, don't get bogged down with market trends or fears of your books being too niche. Don't copy anyone else's style, plot or character traits - you may end up getting sued, but also have more pride in yourself and what you're capable of.
Laura Morgan I love being able to let my mind wander in the knowledge that I am doing it for more than just fun. I am creating a world in which people and places exist only for me to enjoy, and then when I write down what I've seen in my mind it's a joy to bring them to life.
Laura Morgan I've been incredibly lucky and haven't suffered with it yet. Sometimes the story will hit a natural pause, though. Rather than stare at the computer screen I just sit back, close my eyes and let my mind wander. I might come up with one or two scenarios in which to pull the story along, and other times I go back a little and make changes to the story to allow for a new element I've chosen to add in.
