Aimee Hix
My inspiration for writing is it's my job. That was impressed upon me by my mentor, who's been a published writer for over twenty years.
Before I was under contract, my inspiration was wanting to be published. I have thoughts and ideas I want to share. Some days it's harder to get writing than others. Some days, when I have a cold, I want to lounge in my pjs and watch tv all day. But I still write some because you have to keep it going.
It's like a fire - as long as you feed it, it will keep burning. Sometimes it burns low and slow and that's when you have to coax it more. It will go out if you walk away. And starting a fire is harder than tending a fire.
