Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
I am currently still working on my Nanobook, which I started last November. I hadn't tried writing a novel for ages so I thought I'd give NaNoWriMo a go. I'm finding it harder than I thought it would be. It's about a woman who runs away to an outback town after her marriage falls apart.
What is your writing process?
I usually have to think about what I'm going to write before actually writing it, as I'm sure alll people do. I seem to think better using pen and paper which is a pain, but I find the empty document offputting, whereas the blank piece of lined paper invites me to fill it.
