Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes, I do. My sister and I made up a story was we were driving from Houston to El Paso, about a 13 hour drive back then, and I started writing it down when I got back home to Houston. My sister inspired me a lot.
What is your writing process?
I'm a hybrid of Pantser and Planner. I think of the story, the arc, and the characters, then I begin describing the characters, make that "Bible" so I can refer back to for things like eye color or music preference, little details like that can be lost in the story telling process.
Once that is done I begin writing the story. This is where the pantsing comes in. I allow my characters to hijack my plans and sometimes the story is better for it, sometimes I have to go back and re-write things. But my story or series arc is always in the back for my mind.
