Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I was a teenager and wrote a fantasy about another world and a girl much like me who is summoned from earth to live in that foreign place. It was the first attempt of mine to actually write down a story. Prior to this I was making up stories with my dolls, but once becoming a teenager I lost interest in playing with such toys. Even now though I do still love stuffed animals. I guess such things never go away.
What do you read for pleasure?
All the time, I read for pleasure. Usually I engage in something found on Booksiesilk or the plethora of paperbacks I have lined up ready to read at any given time. Wattup and Smashwords also have wonderful authors that I am exploring. There is no end to the joy I have in the choices available. I love so many genres, but right now I seem to be reading a lot of paranormal romances. Also, because I have limitless curiosity, I learn from other writers. Different style elements read inspire me to incorporate the same in my own writings. Reading keeps my writing fresh and prevents me from feeling stuck in a rut or suffering from writer's block.
