There are so many. First of all, every author I ever read helped prepare me in some way. There is a saying that "you must read a thousand books before you can write one," and I think this is very true. So cheers to all the authors whose books I read from the time I was a child, all the way through my adult years. But when I actually began writing for publication, there were authors who gave me wonderful advice, critiques, and support to help me craft stories--Judy Enderle, Jill Rubalcaba, Amanda Jenkins, Nancy Werlin, Melissa Wyatt, Marlene Perez, Gail Giles are among them--and so many more! I am very grateful for all of their writerly wisdom!

Mary E. Pearson:
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?
