The first rule of good writing is to love what you do!  Of all the jobs I’ve ever had, writing is hands down the best.  I put my heart and soul into what I do.  I feel with my characters –  I think about how somethings feels and I have my characters describe that for the reader.  I have been known to write a scene based purely on what I’m feeling at the moment.  If I go somewhere, then so do my characters.  I try to describe what I see, smell, hear and sometimes even taste.   If I can experience something and describe it well, then I can transport my readers to that place.  When you love what you do, it shows.  Writing is my adventure.  Go out and discover what you love today!
