What is your writing process?
I know it sounds trite, but my process really is very organic. Very rarely, do I decide upon a task and try to build around that. Usually, an idea comes to me from the blue, either by something I've heard or said, or something I've encountered. Most often, these ideas happen as epiphanies, but sometimes, they are just as larks. So then, I just try to imaging the circumstance around the idea that might have brought about its presence or situation and then I begin writing. Eventually, a story or poem or song takes shape around that original inspiration.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes. It was a fanciful tale about two boys who somehow fall into an alternate world through the backside of a Hex Pattern painted on a barn in the rural countryside.
