What Sparks Creativity?
Someone recently asked me how I come up with plot ideas. I wasn't sure. Sometimes I get an idea for a problem, then write a story about the character searching for a solution. Sometimes a character comes to mind and I formulate a world for her to move around in. But during the course of writing a whole book, the creative spark sometimes gets snuffed out. That's when the discipline of writing begins. When you don't feel like it, you still have to sit down and put in the time pounding out words. It may be half of them you toss out. But sometimes there's a golden nugget in all the trash...a nugget that sparks the next writing session.

False Gods: The Show Jumper's Challenge
CORY TUCKED THE journal between the mattress and box spring, too tired to get up and put it away, snapped off the light and wriggled farther under the covers. She pulled them over her bare arms against the chill in the room and rolled on her side to face the wall. She had no idea whether she had fallen asleep or not, or whether it had been hours or minutes, when a wide shaft of light from the hall played across her face, then narrowed. She flipped onto her back, propping up on her elbows as her eyes adjusted to the dimness. A figure stood inside the doorway. Jess? Not Jess, too big. Her mind struggled to make sense of it. The figure moved toward her bed, knocked against the far edge of it, and grunted. A man’s voice. Bucky!
