When did you first start writing?
Um...I would have to say third grade. I remember writing a short - couple paragraphs - story about a sister who drank a potion and turned invisible. And while being invisible and out of sight, discovered that she was truly missed by her family. I can't remember how, but she became visible again and that was the end of the tale. And then when I was 14 years of age, I started writing and posting fan-fiction romance stories. It was then that I discovered I had a knack for writing. And I loved doing it. After graduating high school, I took a long break from writing anything. Dealing with "real-world problems" left me drained, stressed and unmotivated.
About two years ago, I started reading fan-fiction again. And that was the spark I needed to pick up the 'pen'.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
Well I've always enjoyed writing. I like being able to take the craziness and intrigue in my imagination and put it into words. I used writing as a journal so I could always remember my thoughts or dreams. And I would be so excited and impressed that my brain came up with this 'world', that I would share it with my husband.
One day, I was having a particularly bad day. I couldn't figure out what I wanted out of life. And he suggested I become an author. I already had a passion and talent for writing, so why not make a career out of it. And that's how it began.
