TS. My friend and best-selling author, Jodi Thomas, did me the honor of contributing to Monday Motivations.
‘The hardest thing a writer does each day is sitting down to work. In 28 years as a working writer, I’ve published 45 books and 13 novellas. The hardest thing wasn’t learning to write but learning to manage time. I picked up a few tricks but it is still the dragon I fight every day.
Build your nest. I find this makes it easy for me to step into fiction. It doesn’t matter if your nest is in a secret room in the attic or a small desk in a hotel room. It needs to be your nest. I usually start with a notebook.
My facts book, my bible for the series. It includes all characters’ 
names and basic facts. Maps of the area—if you’re making up a town, make up the map.’ ~~Jodi Thomas
‘Peace and rest at length have come, All the day’s long toil is past; And each heart is whispering “Home, Home at last!‘- Thomas Hood
