- What was your first-ever piece of writing? It was the summer before 4th Grade and I wrote a 200 page Nancy Drew-inspired novel.
- How old were you when you first began writing? I was eight! The summer before, my grandma had taught me to type, so I used my writing as an excuse to practice that (it worked!)
- Name two writing goals. One short term & one long term.My short term goal is to finish Tears of an Angel (Belgrave #2) by late January/early February 2014. My long term goal is to have success with self-publishing The Belgrave Daughter, the rest of The Belgrave Legacy, and my other books.
- Do you write fiction or non-fiction? So far, I only write fiction, but maybe in the future I’ll write an autobiography or some other type of non-fiction.
- Bouncing off of question 4, what’s your favorite genre to write in? Fantasy or Romance. Actually, my Belgrave Legacy trilogy is Fantasy Romance, but yeah.
- One writing lesson you’ve learned since 2013 began. Prioritizing writing can do wonders for productivity. I wrote my first draft in 3 months, whereas most of my other (non-published) books had taken me a whole year to write.
- Favorite author, off the top of your head! J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series!
- Three current favorite books. Divergent by Veronica Roth; The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater; & Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher.
- Biggest influence on your writing {person}: My mom. And grandmother. Hands. Down.They taught me how to read, write, type, and have supported me and my writing dream from the very start.
- What’s your go-to writing music? The Les Miserables and Swan Lake film soundtracks. I also love music by Sara Bareilles and Christina Perri.
- List three to five writing quirks of your’s! Little habits, must-haves as you write, etc. My (charged) iPhone, earphones, and my laptop (with charger).
- What, in three sentences or less, does your writing mean to you? My life’s purpose and the happiest moments of my life.
