When I first started writing, seriously, I could bang out a novella in a couple of weeks. I wrote every day, sometimes for hours. Then I started getting published, and writing with other people. The "rules" bogged me down and I found myself writing less and less. How do I get back to what I once was?
Chris Fox Well, assuming you're still searching five months later, I hope I can help.

Have you considered a new genre? Some area where you can play without all the constraints of wherever you make your money? A fun pen name could do a lot to get you back to the love of writing.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Chris Fox We don't know how old the Sphinx is. We make guesses, but evidence suggests it's far older than we thought. This got me wondering. What if there were cultures older than ours? What if they were more advanced than us? Could their 'magic' have accounted for our earliest myths? I took that and ran with it.

How do you get inspired to write?
Chris Fox Through unique experiences. I'll go someplace new, or hear a snippet of conversation. Then my inner five year old will start asking why, and the next thing I know there's a story.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Chris Fox The single best thing reading a review from someone you don't know talking about how much your book had an impact. I love telling stories and knowing that some people love them feels phenomenal.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Chris Fox Maybe it was nearly three decades of roleplaying games, but I've been fortunate enough to never run into writer's block. Quite the opposite. I can't find time to write all the ideas I'm managed to pile up.
