Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I tend to put down a rush of ideas without editing them like a stream of consciousness almost. Once my thoughts are on paper, it's easier to then structure them and shape the format. When I sit down to write, I will firstly look at the material from the day before and edit it that before moving on to the next section of my book.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The first story I can remember reading was from a book of fairy stories. I was probably five at the time. The one that struck me was a fairy tale from France. It was about a servant who was given a task by an ogre. He had to sweep out a stable, but the more he swept, the more dirt, dust and straw appeared. I feel like that now when I clean my own house!
