It’s been a while. I’m ashamed to admit it. Writing is a passion of mine and has been for over 20 years. I think this has been the longest that I have been blocked regarding writing, word counts, story arcs, and whatnot. I have multiple books in the works, three over halfway there towards the ending stretch and yet the mental block is there.
Now people can give me advice all day long.
Go for walk
Read
Write whatever comes to mind
Outline
Read aloud
Etc.
Advice. All. Day. Long.
But it does no good if I stay at a blank screen for hours with a mind that’s literally blank.
I have been writing since I was sixteen years old and love to write both horror and romantic suspense. I think there have been many influences within my life that has set me on the path that I can not help but walk. A few of those names consist of Karen Rose, Lisa Gardener, Nora Roberts, Cynthia Eden, Catherine Anderson, Laura Griffin, Andrea Kane, and Lisa Jackson, just to name a few. This list by no means defines by own writing but they have indeed influenced my desire to live outside of my own world and to create the thrill of my dreams. I live on 40 + acres in the SHOW ME state with my two daughters, ten years and nine months. They are a handful! I also have three wonderful dogs. The weather is unpredictable, but the surrounding beauty of the country helps my creativity as I sit on my top deck with my laptop and coffee close by.
