I guess most of my inspiration comes from dreams. I've always had very vivid dreams and when I was younger I used to make drawings about them. Now I write the ideas I have and consider if it's something I'd like to write about.
One big source of inspiration is life. Sometimes as I see or hear about something and I find myself musing about it, trying to resolve it. Other times I picture something different happening, all those "What ifs?" of life.

There's so many things that's hard to only choose one.
As I'm writing, what I enjoy the most is how things (characters, settings, dialogs) start materializing before me.
During revision everything gets more exciting. Read my editor's notes and first reader's notes, see the suggested changes, fight for the things I want to keep,.... At the end I feel so proud of the result.
Hands down the best of being a writer is to hear what people have to say of the story. What they liked, what they didn't. How they pictured something while reading it... wow! To be able to connect to others through my stories is the best feeling in the world.

BCL2 is in revision.
BCL3 is being drafted as I write this notes.
There's also my paranormal romance, Blood Lust, that's in eternal edition.
And also have two stories in my head that are begging to be written. I really want to find the time to write them.

BCL's idea came out of a summon that Avon made about two years ago. They wanted stories about bridesmaids, and since a big part of my day to day work is planning and writing processes I thought I should write about someone who's planning a wedding, not just living it.
Then I brainstormed with some friends about the most common wedding cliches, 'cause I wanted my main character to battle against them and suddenly the plot started to form in my head.
