I just accept it with open arms... after I am done complaining about it for like 2 hours. I put away whatever I am working on at that time, do something different for days, weeks and months... until I feel like I can start writing again.

I am not sure how, when and where I got the inspiration for my new book Midnight Memories, but I think it must have been the midnight going outs with my friends. Whenever we are out, we have crazy adventures so it must be that.

I myself am just an aspiring writer so the best advice I can come up with is to never give up writing. You are going to write a lot of shitty pages, useless contest and not very well developed characters, but that's okay. Everyone's going through it, so believe in yourself.

The BEST, most wonderful thing about being a writer is that you can write whatever you'd LOVE to read! And you do that while creating new lives and new faiths.

Currently I'm working on a novel that will hopefully be out this October. It's called Midnight Memories, for now. I don't know whether I'll change the name of it when I start the whole publishing thing or not. It's about a guy that's crazy in love with street art and in all kinds of arts in general, and also a girl that doesn't actually find her place in the world. They have a very complicated story and issues they'll be dealing with throughout the whole book... that's all I'm going to tell about #MM for now :P :D

Usually I just get inspired by everything, it can be a yellow bus passing during a grey rainy day, or a song I might hear on the radio, or a situation, maybe a girl wearing red stockings... everything can inspire me to write, honestly.
