ABOUT CAROLINA

Carolina Barbour resides in Texas with her husband and two children. She has always enjoyed reading as a pastime and spends a majority of her time emerged in a good book. Since her first novel, Pure Distraction, was accepted and published by Siren, Carolina now finds herself typing away on the keyboard, anxious to bring her readers the next installment to the Pure series.
 

Carolina enjoys writing, and entertaining readers. She hopes everyone will enjoy her next story as much as she is enjoying writing it.

INTERVIEW

Q: How did you get started writing?

A: After years of wanting to be a writer, dreaming, I just started typing one night on a story idea I had in my head a long time. I stopped thinking about writing and started doing it. Sometimes you have to just go for it, jump in feet first, and see what happens.

Q: What is an average day writing like?

A: Actually, I rarely write during the weekday because I work a full-time job that keeps me busy. I do most of my writing on the weekends, starting around midnight until 6:00 in the morning when my husband and kids go to bed.

Q: Do you do an outline of your story idea before starting?

A: No, I never do a story outline. I tried it one time, and it drove me crazy because I prefer to let the story flow as I write. If I outline, I feel obligated to follow the outline, and that sometimes makes for a dull story. I usually start a manuscript by sitting down at my laptop and start typing. If I do any prep work, it’s usually to jot down the character names, one sentence storyline, and then go from there. I do a lot of free-form writing. I just go with whatever I feel at the time. I get the entire story down first, and then change and edit afterwards to make sure it all makes sense.

Q: How long did it take you to write your first novel?

A: I wrote the rough draft for Pure Distraction in 6 weeks, then went through multiple weeks, editing the manuscript. In all, I would say it took me three months from beginning to submission.

Q: How do you keep the storyline/chapters together in your head?

A: I haven’t figured that out yet. I use notes sometimes, but mostly I scribble on any piece of paper available. When I feel like I need to get organized (smile) I will use Notepad to jot down thoughts. But mostly I just type, type, and type some more. I worry about how the chapters flow and the story comes together during the editing phase.
