Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I was ten years old and wrote a short story for the Archie comic book magazines which was published worldwide. I won $5.00.
What is your writing process?
I like Hemingway's advice, write drunk, edit sober. I don't get drunk but a bit lit definitely opens doors and dodges writer's block. When I have something to share, it wells up inside of me and flows out in a flurry of words that sometimes is hard to keep up typing them. I can write dozens of pages from sun up to sun down in a single sitting. When I am in "my zone" everything else fades around me and writing is the only concentration for me. I can finish a book in three weeks.
