As the youngest child in a large family, Donna often felt invisible, and entertained herself by making up stories or friends to play with. She taught herself to read at an early age, and embraced the world of imagination: filled with Princes, in grand castles, and Fairy Godmothers, in Enchanted Forests.

Today, Donna is a grandmother, random-fact finder, and visionary––encouraging writers of all ages, to share their stories and imaginary friends. As a superhero-in-training, she believes everyone has a “superhero” side, ready to save the day.

She lives in California with her family and five cats, who inspire so many of her super characters. (Sadly, no mice like Simon or Ricky.)

Too much stuff spilling out, I can’t get it to slow down.

But, I may not always be so fortunate, so...

One...check to see if you’ve metaphorically written yourself into a corner. If so, start asking questions...interview all characters for their ideas. You would be amazed at the clarity that comes from inhabiting your characters point of view to the problem.

Second...take a break. Step away from you project. It’s high pressure to solve any problem on demand. Go read a book, watch a movie, take a walk. As with most things in life, your brain will actively review and resort every angle of the problem subconsciously. Kind of like reliving a confrontation where you suddenly have the perfect witty retort, or well developed answer.

And, third, just because it came to me this moment...read you work aloud. I often hear the answer when I do this. I guess the ear being closer to the brain, makes the connection faster? Whatever the science, try one or all of these. And let me know if they helped.(less)

Getting to dream for a living.

As a writer, we twist, contort, and downright lie about real life. But we do that in such a way that readers overlook them and still fall in love with our stories and characters.

If that isn’t the greatest job ever, I don’t know what is!(less)
