What are your favorite books to read?
Mostly spooky or weird stuff. Like my own! There’s something about a good scare that is really exhilarating!
List some important elements that make a good book?
You have to create a character that is believable. If not, your readers won’t feel like they are real. Also, make sure your character has obstacles. Without obstacles there is no conflict. And without conflict there is no story!
How do you keep track of all your ideas when writing a book?
I have no idea! I am a very disorganized writer. I have friends that are the opposite. I wish I could be more organized but when I try, I just get messy again. But I guess that is my method! I have documents and journals where I put down ideas and hope they turn into stories.
What inspired you to start writing?
READING! I had so much fun reading as a kid that I decided to try writing myself. I’m glad I stuck with it. It was a long, hard journey but I wouldn’t give it up for the world.
What’s a story or plot you’ve always wanted to write about, but it didn’t work out?
That’s a good question. I have scraps of ideas that I think about every day. I’ve always wanted to do something with black and brown people in an alternate Victorian setting. Maybe one day! But I try to keep all of my ideas in mind. You never know when the inspiration will strike to begin a new story!
