Tell us about your writing process.
I like writing with paper and pen. I just allow the story to flow onto my paper without interruption. I don't outline, I just write. Then afterwards, I transfer all my information into computer.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Most times my characters come to me in my dream. They talk to me, they tell me what they like and don't. Sometimes when I am having difficult with names and all that, they tell me what to call them.
