Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?

Just the main theme. It was about a boy of about 12 (I must have been 12 at the time I wrote it) - something of an underdog - who faces a problem (don't remember what the problem was) and solves it just by guts.

What is your writing process?

My stories came into existence in more than one way but the most common way is that I get an idea, then I think of the characters that I can use to develop that idea. Next, I decide on an ending. The final step is to sit at the computer and start writing to bridge the gap between the initial idea and the ending of the story.
