INTERVIEW
Q: Where do you get your ideas
for your stories?
A: From a variety of things. Movies,
music, art, places, people, random
events. Something will trigger the "what
if" scenario in my brain and I'm off and
running with my version of the story.
Q: When do you write?
A: Whenever Real Life permits. If I
have an idea for a scene, a character,
or a story line, I do try to get it into
the computer as quickly as possible
before I forget it. I usually try to
plan on an hour in the very early
morning, though.
Q: What is your favorite genre
to write?
A: I don't really have a favorite.
Each story sort of goes its own way, so
I try to stay flexible. I do prefer a
hint of paranormal and/or mystery. I
almost always combine several genres as
well.
Q: Do you outline?
A: No. I don't outline. I try to be
as much of a "pantser" as possible so
the story develops naturally, but I will
occasionally write a long blurb or brief
synopsis first and use that as a rough
guideline.
Q: Do you write in sequence?
A: Rarely. I don't like to lose ideas
for scenes or secondary characters, so
I'll write them as they come to me and
figure out how to fit them in later.
