Good question, Lynn. For most writers, writer's block comes in many forms: procrastination, fear of failure, "not having time to write," kids to play with (or feed!), dogs to walk, nice weather, books to read, projects to build, "everything I write seems stupid," and so on. There are always a hundred reasons why it's sometimes a challenge to get around to the process of actually writing. My main method is to pick a time each day, sit down, and start writing. Just start doing it, and keep doing it, even if it doesn't feel perfect, just write and keep writing. Many writers find that the habit of writing every day is important to them, even if on some days, the writing isn't as good as they want it to be.

I remember reading somewhere in the end of the second Serafina book that Cedric the Saint Bernard is real - that was a very exciting moment for me. What about Gidean? Is he based on a real Gidean too? He is one of my favorite characters in this series! If not, who/what was he inspired by? Also, I just purchased the first Willa book and can't wait for this weekend so I can read it!

First, I just have to say that Willa of the Wood is my new favorite book. I haven't read any of the Serafina series, but I will definitely check them out now after inhaling this 384 page masterpiece in under 3 days! Is this one also a series? I see that it says #1, does that mean more are in the works? Also...is this going to be a movie? I think it needs to be!
