What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
I think I have one of the few jobs that becomes SO addicting that I have a hard time sleeping. Truth is, I can't wait for Monday's to roll around and I can plop back into my chair and work out the next project. My mind and heart are always fixated on how I want to make the readers feel.
It's a passion with inspiring, uplifting, encouraging and unveiling the potential in each of us that gets me up and going as soon as my eyes open. Wanting to create something SO good and SO compelling that the reader will want to seek me out and have a conversation or ask questions. It's even better when I get begged for more! Nothing beats that.
What inspires me to get out of bed each day? The possibilities of what can happen if I give my all to Wanted Hero.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Unlike most authors, I'm a father of 12 children., Yeah, i said TWELVE...so I always have something to do. Youth and family are my life, so I spend time engaging in their lives--playing games, working on community projects and our all time favorite: snuggling up together with HUGE bowls of popcorn and watching Doctor Who.
If I'm not with family, I love doing community service, I volunteer to help people with various projects, donating my talents and skills and let's not forget reading. You can't write unless you read too--so that's part of my daily TO DO List. The key here is shifting the mental muscles. If I'm not writing, I'm researching, planning, plotting, organizing or having conversations with people to gather ideas...
Thing is, I'm a creator by nature--so I'm rarely idle unless I'm literally unconscious. Naps are good though.
I like naps.
