Jennifer McQuiston
I have to admit, my writing schedule is pretty cringe-worthy: because I work during the day and am also mom to two girls, the only time I have free to write is in the morning, before they get up. I set my alarm for 4am and write for 2 hours most mornings. Let me tell you, it can be hard to find inspiration at 4am. So I usually search for it in a big pot of tea (my caffeine of choice), and during the winter I also sit for an hour in front of my simulate sunlight lamp. I also edit the pages I wrote the day before before diving into new material. Usually, these three things are enough to get me inspired and write.

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?

Hi Jennifer! I'm currently reading "Diary of an Accidental Wallflower" and while I am rooting for Daniel and Clare (of course), I really do love the dynamic between Daniel and Clare's siblings. I see that book 2 is going to be Lucy's story; I'm curious, will we see a story starring Geoffrey sometime in the future?
