Sarah Noffke is a prolific USA Today Best-Selling Author, who writes YA and NA science fiction, fantasy, paranormal and urban fantasy. Most of her stories draw on her experiences living on the West Coast, growing up in Texas or traveling the world.

Her passion for art, culture and literature drives her to create stories that are full of whimsey, humor and philosophy. Her books appeal to readers who enjoy an escape, a bit of magic mixed with science and the unexpected--like a dragon who tells bad jokes and has a video game addiction, but fights for justice.

Noffke's books are top rated and best-sellers on Amazon. Her books are available in paperback, audio and in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch and Italian.

The hon…moreSince it's about dreaming wouldn’t it be cool if I said I got the idea from a dream? Yeah, that would be super cool, but that’s not the truth. The honest answer is I’ve always been fascinated by dreams and the paranormal. There was a time in college that I thought about becoming a paranormal psychologist. Instead I became a writer. Choices.

I was a work-at-home mom at the time that I concocted the idea for the Lucidites. I started by talking about premise ideas to my infant. She offered little feedback, but plenty of inspiration. The idea for an ancient villain came to me when I was reading about Zhuangzi, who was a Taoist philosopher. He said, “Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”

Once I read this I quickly latched onto the idea of a villain who was once good, but became corrupt through greed. And so Zhuang was born, but he dreamt himself as things much more threatening than a butterfly. Maybe most writer’s start with creating the hero, but in my case I started with the antagonist. From there the idea of stealing consciousness through dreams took shape and everything fell into place…well kind of. That’s all a story for another time.

This is a great question that I think many can relate to. I know that I suffered stress for years because I had incomplete manuscripts. Here's my idea on this: If you're not passionate about the idea then you're not going to write something that compels readers. So this means you have to keep searching until you find the idea for a book that makes you want to stay up late writing. Maybe you have an idea for a book but haven't felt committed to it. Can you push the boundaries of this idea? Think about your favorite book and think about how that writer must have felt when writing. That's the story idea that you want to find and then you'll have a stronger motivation to write.

Here's a litmus test that you can use: does the idea for your novel monopolize your thoughts? Do you find yourself intrigued with how your story is going to turn out? Are you in love with your characters? Do you want to protect them and do you worry about them constantly? If the answer is no then you have some development to do on the story idea and the characters.

It took me a long time to find an idea for a book that made me want to shut myself away from the world. The key is to entertain all ideas. Give them a chance to cart you away to a new world. Keep doing that and one day you'll find yourself transported. Then you'll have no problem writing. You won't just be motivated, you will be absolutely driven.(less)

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“No one ever told me how sorrow traumatizes your heart, making you think it will never beat exactly the same way again. No one ever told me how grief feels like a wet sock in my mouth. One I’m forced to breathe through, thinking that with each breath I’ll come up short and suffocate.”
Sarah Noffke, Awoken

“There are two types of humans in this world: those who function so they can get something and those who function so they can give something.”
Sarah Noffke, Stunned

“Taking a risk to survive isn’t that impressive. Taking a risk to be happy, that takes guts.”
Sarah Noffke, Revived
