Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I was seven years of age. It was a story about an orc named Luis and a spider named Dracula. I still have a copy. That was, without a doubt, the moment that I realized my love for creating and writing stories. Of course, I had created many fantastical stories before that (mostly with my brother, who is but three years younger), but I had never written them. The story of Luis and Dracula wasn't particularly impressive or anything, but I still look fondly at it.
What is your writing process?
It has changed much over the years, and I do not think it has reached its final stage. It will change still as I discover better ways, but for now, it goes like this.
I first write the whole first draft of any work on a digital typewriter (not a computer) and plot it if it is long like a novel, then I transfer it to my computer and go through it, changing and fixing plot holes. After that, I go through it again and fix grammar and spelling.
It may take a few read-throughs to fix everything, but generally, that is the process.
