Smashwords Interview

What motivated you to become an indie author?
As a creative person, I enjoy having control over how my books look, not just how they read. So I enjoy formatting the inside for my paperbacks and having some design control in the covers. I also love being able to publish more quickly and not worrying so much about length restrictions or other rules. I can publish a short story, novella, or novel when I'm ready.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I LOVE creating fun, unique story lines and new characters, and then exploring what happens. I'm what you call a pantser, where I don't outline the story. Instead I create a loose movie concept in my head and start writing. But, I should add I've written dozens of novels and have a good feel for the story's pacing, arc, and character development.
