Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I do! It was about people who lived on the planet Venus and who wanted to sun bathe, but couldn't because of all the clouds. Earth sent Venus these giant fans that blew the clouds to mercury so it was more shaded and didn't get so hot. And all the people on Venus enjoyed their sunny days. I think I was six at the time.
What is your writing process?
I don't really have one, to be perfectly honest. I 'dream' most of my stories and books, then try to capture what I'm seeing in my head, like a dvd running at either way too fast or way too slow pace. When I'm at the computer, furiously typing away, I don't pay attention to spelling, sentence structure, etc. I go back later and clean it all up and make everything make some sort of sense.
