Q & A TIME!
Q1. Of all the things you could have done, why write?
A. I’ve always loved storytelling so writing is a natural extension of that aspect of my personality. It’s very rewarding for me to bring characters to life on the page and send them on some kind of journey where they learn something. At least, that is the ultimate goal.
Q2. How do you juggle writing with your daily life? (Especially if you aren’t a full-time writer)
A. It’s tough. Coming up with a premise is very specific exercise where I sit down and brainstorm ideas for an hour at a time until I find something worth pursuing. I may do a couple brainstorming sessions or a dozen, it depends on inspiration and is therefore unpredictable. Once I have begun writing though, I think about the story at random times: while driving, waiting in line at the store, or showering in the morning. Since I don’t get to write every day, I’ll scribble down ideas as they come to me. Usually, it’s a line or two of dialog. In some cases, it’s an idea for a new chapter. They are the fuel I’ll use to write when I get a chance to sit down at my laptop.
Q3. How do you know your story is done and is ready for publication?
A. I read the story out loud and hear how it sounds. If the writing is good and the characters sound real, if it feels like a complete story that I enjoy, I’ll turn it over to be copy edited and published.
Q4. Favourite Word?
