Learning that what you've written has actually helped someone. For me, there's nothing better than that.

I probably don't sleep as much as I should. :)
I try to set aside about 30 minutes a day for reading. Because we don't have cable, our TV isn't on a lot (except when we binge watch something on Netflix), so that helps as well.

I just recently completed work on the script for a new documentary on Charles Spurgeon. Beyond that, I've got a couple of irons in the fire in terms of what my next book will be, but it's too early to talk about.

As cliché as it sounds, read constantly, and read diversely—especially older books! Read authors like C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Charles Dickens and Mark Twain. Writers are readers, and if you're not reading, you're not going to be a great writer.

I read a lot, so whenever I'm stuck on something, I always turn to engaging with the books I'm reading, either writing a book review or interacting with an idea. That helps tremendously.

Pure desperation. When I started working for my present employer, I showed a tiny bit of aptitude for writing and when we had our writer leave staff, I was thrust into the position.
