Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I wrote a little bit as a child, but I did not start writing in earnest, until I was fifteen years old. Before then, I'd just written a bit of poetry and a few songs, with the occasional english assignment for a short story. After I turned sixteen, I discovered the joy of short story writing and the Christian Writers Guild. I have been writing ever since. The first thing I ever officially wrote, was a poem in fifth Grade English about the four seasons. The first novel I ever wrote was a mystery about an abandoned cabin.
What is your writing process?
It's a very simple process. I sit down and I write. I spend most of my in-between time thinking up of scenes and characters, so whenever I do sit down or have a moment to type on my phone, I just start writing the most pressing idea or sync up to the last story I was working on. I have tried to outline in the past, but I find that as long as I have a general working idea of what I want the story to be, I can write a good story and revise it to be a great story.

    Peeper is adorable! I loved his courageous attitude towards the Great Hawkins and it ended very nicely.
  • NaNo for the New and the Insane on Oct. 01, 2011

    A fun and quick run down on what National Novel Writing Month is and how you can be ready for it. I would definitely recommend it for first-time Wrimos and to even the veteran ones for a few good laughs. It's informative and useful!
  • Author Vs. Character on Oct. 08, 2011

    I've had these sorts of conversations before, though my characters are not quite as hilarious as poor Varyn. I loved this short snippet. Definitely a good laugh as I start plotting for Nano 2011
