I had kind of ignored my memories from my service and was always focused on looking forward not backward. Then I got the idea to use some of my military experiences in a book series, and once I started writing and remembering all kinds of stuff came flooding back.

If I have writers block I stare at the images until a new idea comes or I go searching for a new image to replace one of the ones I have.
