Interview with Emma Lawrence
Published 2014-06-08.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
It's a way to express that side of myself that would never come out in real life...yet it's very much a part of me! Writing for me is that place where my imagination can run free and unfettered by the limitations we all allow others to place on us. I am never worried about what someone might think about me when I'm immersed in a story!
What do your fans mean to you?
My fans are my friends! I've posted stories before and some of the people who've written to me with feedback have become my trusted advisors. As a matter of fact, it's one of my fans who led me to start publishing on Smashwords!
What are you working on next?
I'm not sure. I'm never really sure what shape my stories take until I start writing them. Sometimes the characters take on a life of their own and the story goes in a different direction than I'd originally planned.
Who are your favorite authors?
Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler are my favorites, hands down.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Usually I get out of bed because I need to pee. If I didn't need to pee I just might stay in bed until noon!
