Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes! I was in grade school. I had just seen the episode of the Original Star Trek series entitled "The Apple" set on a planet whose inhabitants worshiped a mysterious entity known as "Vaal". So I started writing a story about a group of astronauts who visit a volcanic planet called "Vol". My teacher liked it so much I turned it into a series. It was actually quite terrible.
What is your writing process?
I don't know if I can really call it a "process". It's very chaotic and sporadic. But typically I write a beginning and an ending (or sometimes I write the ending first) and then start on the middle. It's rare for me to start writing a story and not already have at least a vague idea of an ending in mind, but it does happen from time to time. I also tend to edit as I go, which is not generally considered a good habit to have as a writer, but I can't seem to stop myself.
