Just keep at it and building up your work. It’s great that self publishing is so open.

What about writing block? Like when you really short out of ideas for your writing?

CaeliQuestion author

Oh, one more, do you do some research before start writing??

Liam

Work on different projects. Stuck on one, go to another. Try something completely different. Poetry, perhaps. Or a screenplay. Or a play. Take courses.

Liam

Research today is completely different than years ago. Everything can be googled now. Sometimes though, even the best of research can let you down. Happened me recently with Sorting out Charlie, a YA I penned, and it took an Indian native to point out my mistake.

You should read Game of Life series by @Belle. There’s definately a psycho in there. Books 3-5 release within the next month. They are novella type sized books but the author packs a lot into those pages

Pretty Stolen Dolls. Be warned it’s very very mature and only the first two books I liked and couldn’t handle. It’s a bit taboo as well.

Dark Angel by David Klass.
And the Christopher Creed duology by Carol Plum-Ucci is good. I can’t remember exactly if there is a psycho character in the firsr one but they’re definitely suspenseful reads.

Gone Girl is the reason why I will never cheat or play with a woman’s feelings. Women can go psycho if not properly tried. Their feels are gold and playing with them is a death wish. I love Gone Girl.
