Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I think every author remembers their first 'published 'story, but most of us were writing a long time before anything was actually published. I probably wrote stories in school whenever the opportunity occurred, because my English teacher told me my work was good, but I ought to cut out some of the 'cotton-wool'! I can't say with certainty what my first story was about, there were many starts and stops and at first, a lot of stories I wrote were just to satisfy my own love of writing.
What is your writing process?
Regularity. I form the idea for a story mentally before I actually sit down and start writing. I get ideas from all kinds of sources like daily happenings, magazines, newspapers, photos, music, travel, and the endless sources on the internet. Once I have a rough idea of what the story will be about, I aim for a certain number of words per day and try to stick to it. I usually succeed but if not, I don't panic. I think if you force the writing, it will just suffer. When I start I just have the idea. How I put it all together and reach the end is usually an enjoyable process. My stories often develop in a different direction and the contents change as I go along.
