Smashwords Interview

Describe your desk
Thought I should say a little something now in 2022, 5 years after when the original 2017 interview below appeared. My desk? Well, computers need a firm surface to sit upon, so there are various officially designated "desks" along with ritualized tabletops set up for the purpose of crafting each next book. But really, most first flush creativity still happens for me utilizing plain old notebook and pen. Usually while seated somewhere outdoors protected from the elements, with a view of flitting birds, puffy clouds shapeshifting, and tree branches that are waving hello.
What is the best part about being a writer?
Creating worlds! :)
And figuring out what I believe in from subject matter which intrigues me long enough to complete a project, whether that's short-term completing a potency-in-a-precise package 'Slim,' 'Story Poem,' or 'Erotic Short' that features one defining moment in time...or whether it's over a significant number of years, completing a novel or film.
