It's like what you say here -- that creative passion that is so appealing. Likewise, I've been telling myself more and more lately that if I don't love a scene I write, how I can expect readers to love it?

We have to tap into this passion and let it show on the page! Thanks, Christina. Great insight!

Hi John - you know, I got inspiration for my latest book on our past cruise! And yes, fight to get that passion back. Life happens, but as a creative, it's so important to use your creative muscles! I've found that I can handle all that life throws at me so much better when I go back to my creative outlets, even if only for a few minutes a day.

It's important to remember -- and I need to be reminded, often -- of why we started this pen-to-paper journey. It's because we love it. Sometimes I'm guilty of letting a deadline get in the way of that love, but hearing from you helped a lot. Have a great cruise!

Thanks for this post, which is ironically appropriate, since my nearly complete WIP is set largely on a huge ocean liner!
