Interview:
1.
When did you first
realize you wanted to be a writer?
I’ve
pretty much always loved writing, but growing up I was one of those kids who
never knew what they wanted to be or do. It wasn’t until I finished my first
book (written off and on for nearly ten years) that I realized writing held the
spark of passion for work that had been lacking in my life.
2.
How long does it take
you to write a book?
It
really does depend. Every book is a different animal. Most ideas take at least
a few months to brew before I can actually start writing them. My first book
took ten years from start to finish. I’ve successfully completed NaNoWriMo
(twice, I think), which is 60k (a full book) in thirty days. Most books these
days take anywhere from two to six months.
3.
What is your work
schedule like when you're writing?
I
do have a day job, which hinders work a few days a week. Mostly when I write I
shoot for the typical 8-5, a normal work day. I try not to push myself by word
count (for me, that can lead to more work in the long run, it’s the timeless quantity
vs. quality argument). I try to write one scene at a time, sometimes one
chapter at a time. It depends on how the day goes, how much research will need
to be done, my mood (yes, unfortunately that is a factor). A big thing I try to
stick to is not checking the internet too often. Because…time suck.
4.
What would you say is
your interesting writing quirk?
Writing
quirks. You’re talking to the right person. I have issues reading other books
while I’m in the middle of writing (and sometimes editing). I don’t want to let
another author’s vision leak into the world I’m trying to create. I also like
fresh, cold water beside me, all the time. When I’m working I eat at my laptop.
I blow bubbles for inspiration. I talk to myself in the shower to help work out
plot issues. I won’t dare go on, but there are a ton.
5.
When did you write your
first book and how old were you?
I
started writing my first book when I was about twelve, working on it very
sporadically for a few years. Then it went in a folder in a dark room. I picked
it up again in my early twenties, remembered all the love I had for it, and spent
a few months finishing it.
6.
What do you like to do
when you're not writing?
Reading,
watching movies and TV, playing video games, and plotting my next book.
7.
What does your family
think of your writing?
My
husband has always been the most supportive of this dream. When I finished my
first book and decided I wanted to write, he was there, pushing me to write, to
commit, and work hard. I’ve never been more thankful for anything in my life.
My
parents are also wildly supportive. With each book release they order copies
for themselves and copies to give away to friends and family. I have the best
cheerleaders.
8.
How many books have you
written? Which is your favorite?
From
beginning to end, I have written seven books, currently working on my eighth.
To pick a favorite is like choosing between kids (I would imagine). Each has a
special place in my heart. I will say, I’m probably most proud of A MATTER OF
TIME. It was my biggest challenge to date, not to mention *all the feels*!
9.
Do you have any
suggestions to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they?
First,
always write what you love. If you love it, it will show in the pages. Read.
Write. Write some more. Find a few good critique partners. And never, ever give
up.
10.
Do you hear from your
readers much? What kinds of things do they say?
Getting
correspondence from readers is about the best this job gets. Just hearing a
simple “hey, I liked your book” can make an author’s day.
11.
Do you like to create
books for adults?
The
first two books I wrote were for a proposed Adult Urban Fantasy series.
However, the writing is one step up from terrible. I’d love to be able to
rewrite it one day and try my hand at the adult market. But right now I have so
many young adult stories waiting to be written, and they take priority.
12.
What do you think makes
a good story?
I
love a plot with action and romance, that said, I really enjoy a story when the
stakes are personal to the main character(s). That’s when I feel I can really
connect with the characters. A great setting doesn’t hurt either. J
