(view spoiler)[ I guess I'm lucky, I've never really had it. But what helps if I do get stuck is take a break, just let my mind go where ever it pleases. Reading a good book also helps-- it gives me ideas. (hide spoiler)]

Freedom of expression. I'm not not a big talker. Writing helps me say the things I might have difficulty saying aloud. I guess the best thing about writing is sharing what you love with others.

(view spoiler)[Take the time to write everyday if you can. It doesn't matter what you write or what you write on. Writing a few lines on a torn sheet of paper is sufficient. And read, read, read. You can't be a good writer if you don't. You learn about who you are as a writer, what's your style, genre by reading. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I am currently working on my third manuscript. It's about a boy, a preteen living in Tacoma, WA during the 1970's. The inspiration for this one are my twin boys and centers on the neighborhood where they attended middle school until the end of this school year. The Hilltop neighborhood is a diverse community, and I thought it would be good to represent the people who live and work there. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Well, I take what is familiar--like the community in which I live and where I grew up, the people who live there and places I've visited to inspire me to write. (hide spoiler)]
