8
What's your preferred method of writing?
With a notebook and pen. I like to feel the words flow from my hand.
On a laptop. It's practical.
I still use a typewriter. For the aesthetic *ding* sound it makes.
9
What's your writing strategy?
I plan everything out - from a side character's whole family tree to the tragic death of the villain's pet rock - before I even consider trying to write chapter one.
I let the story and characters guide me and just write whatever feels right in the moment. If a horse in one scene changes to a bird in the next, well, that's what revisions are for!
I think of the major plot beats I want to hit before I start writing, and I'll read previous scenes to avoid plot holes, but I mostly improvise the dialogue, setting, and even specific background details of my characters. Rigid outlines give me hives.
My work is based on my own experiences. Life has a funny way of planning my books for me. All I have to do is write the events down as they happen - with some sugar and spice thrown in for entertainment value, of course!
10
What's your comfort Point-of-View to write in?
I love first-person! I can bring readers in close to my characters' emotions.
The writer worked best in third-person. It allowed them to experiment with character development.
You can never go wrong with second-person. You can drag the reader by the ear in to the story and play more mind games.
11
What's your favorite part of a story to write?
Dialogue! I love writing banter between characters and coming up with witty phrases.
I prefer describing scenes. Bringing what I see in my mind into reality through words feels like a kind of magic.
I love world building! Puzzling through why and how this world I've created works and weaving those parts into a story is just so fun to me.
I write more nonfiction than fiction, so I just enjoy the art of storytelling and sharing life experiences with others in an entertaining fashion.
12
When do you do your best writing?
Bright and early, before the first bird sings.
Late at night, past the city's bedtime.
In the middle of the day, to briefly escape from this reality.
I write whenever inspiration strikes and wherever I can make the time.
13
Where is your favorite writing spot?
At home, where I won't be interrupted.
At a bookstore or cafe. Having other people around keeps me motivated.
At school or in the office. If there's a spot to sit and write during a break, I'll take it!
I've been known to write on the roof of a house during a tornado because it was the only place available at the time and I had just had an idea. If I have something to write in, I will write wherever, whenever.
