What is your writing process?
I'm one of those that just has to write the story and see where it goes. I don't usually outline, although I have made notes to keep myself on track and provide consistency. Before I start, I read over what I wrote the day before, correcting mistakes as I see them. When the story, or chapter, is done, I go back over it at least twice, once reading it out loud to myself. After that, I give it to others to read and make corrections on.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The first one? No, not really. When I was a kid, I had a lot of kid sci-fi and fantasy books, and always liked them. I loved Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators, and had them all, until I outgrew them. I was always reading, and still, to this day, I will finish a book, and then immediately find the next one.
