Ken Follett's historical fiction. Mr. Follett layers his stories with history, engaging characters who have specific goals to achieve. I imitate his storytelling style.
I gave young Albert Einstein my experiences of the mystical with the Mystical Travelers and angels. Countess Victoria Von Baden is from a work experience I had. She was like an evil dragon lady.
When I write, I sit and allow my creativity to flow onto the page. When my creative cup is empty I get up and do everyday chores. This allows my creative cup to fill up. When I feel my cup is full I sit and write. No writers block just follow the flow of my creativity.
