What inspires you to write?
I have always been a writer. Well, first I was a reader and then I wanted to learn to write. Around fourth grade I started writing stories and I haven’t stopped since. All sorts of things inspire me to write. I like interesting ideas like funeral crashing, doppelgangers, and crashing a prom. Things that are out of the ordinary like those are fun to write about.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am a pantser for the most part, but I’ve been trying to outline more because it really does help. The thing is that my outlines usually fall to the wayside because as I write the story and characters constantly change and become different from what I had outline. Something I thought was going to happen doesn’t as I write it just because it doesn’t feel right to the story anymore.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I think about my characters quite a bit – what they’d do, what they wouldn’t, what they like and don’t like. I definitely talk to the main characters in each book in my head all the time.
What advice would you give other writers?
Write! Write! Write! Yes, write even when you don’t feel like it.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to self-publish because I was tired of having my writing sitting in my computer with nobody to read it. I’d sent out a bunch of query letters with no positive response, so I decided to take my fate into my own hands. Why not? Carpe diem!
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
It’s changing. Self-published authors can do just as well as traditionally published authors. It’s a whole new world with ebooks.
