What inspires you to write?
Reading good stories, as a child and a YA, had a big impact on my life. The impact was beyond daydreaming about the heroes – I wanted to create them.
Tell us about your writing process.
The main plot of my stories “pop” to my head, usually as I walk. Then, I sit, alone, in our study room, and write all I remember from my walk.
Next step – define the main character and it’s motives. If necessary, doing a research about it.
Now, the fun begin – starting to write the plot. First draft. Correcting and fixing and changing.
Reading the result after a few day, that I didn’t see it, and decide if I want to change it or not.
