How
old were you when you started writing?
Probably 15 or so.
I started writing song lyrics and then gradually went into writing short
stories.
Where
do you get your inspiration?
Everywhere. It comes randomly
and usually unexpected. I see something that makes me think of a storyline, a
song, a show, a commercial… it comes from random places.
What
do you do when you get a writer's block?
I take a break
usually. Work on something else – package books, network on Facebook, listen to
music, cook…
Who
is your favorite author?
E.L. James because if it wasn’t for
her, I wouldn’t be here. Her books got me so enthralled into reading again that
it made me write again for pleasure. I usually wrote grad papers and didn’t
make time for writing, but once I started reading again, I realized how much I
missed it.
Best
book you ever read.
Beautiful Broken Rules by Kimberly
Lauren (also a favorite author)
Who
is the one person who has influence your personal life the most and why?
My oldest sister, Heather. She has guided me and looked after
me since I was 11 years old. She always worked her butt off to get where she is
today and she inspires me to do the same. She never believes she can’t do
something.
If
you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead,
real or fictional, who would it be and why?
Colleen Hoover –
she’s definitely an inspiration to many aspiring authors. I would love to sit
down with her and talk about everything!!
What
advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer?
My advice would be to keep going no matter what and no matter
who says you can’t. Sometimes all you have is yourself, but if you believe in
yourself enough, that’s all that matters. Write. Write for pleasure, don’t
write for anyone else. Write for you. Don’t give up no matter how hard and
frustrating things get. Stop writing the minute you stop enjoying it.
