I jump to working on a different WIP, start on another story, or brainstorm ideas for new ones. I'm never working on just one project, I've usually got dozens in progress, and if I get stuck on one, I just shift to another until my motivation comes back for the first one.

There are many, many, many different ways to go about writing a book, and not all of them work for everyone. Spend some time learning how you write best, learning what your own personal writing process is, and don't get fixated on feeling like you have to do it how you think everyone else does, or how they tell you you should. As long as you're writing, that's all that matters.

A lot of different WIPs, but the one that's probably the main one I'm working on right now is called Strange Ones. It explores the idea of what defines having humanity and being equal to a human, even if you're not one.

By lots of different things. Sometimes it's from reading another book and thinking I want to try and write a story like that, but looking at things from a different angle, or asking the what if a different choice was made, or if characters had a different background, sometimes it's from the many weird dreams I have that lead to interesting story ideas, and other times it's pondering a difficult social, moral or ethical question that leads me to want to write a story to explore it.

Dying tigers was inspired by several different manga series I read back in college. I wanted to take a different twist on the idea of a couple who had an unusual and seemingly unhealthy type of love for one another, but that worked for them given their situation.
