Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?

I play video games in my spare time. One of my favorites is Portal by Valve Corporation. I love the concept and puzzle aspect. On the shooter/RPG end of the spectrum I also really enjoyed the Mass Effect Series by Bioware. If I'm not gaming, I'm spending time with my Husband and roommate; mini golfing, bowling, playing pool, and watching movies.

What is your writing process?

How do you really nail a writing process? It can be really hectic, but the most important thing you need is ideas. This of course never happens when you're sitting at the computer. So, when I'm out and about I'll suddenly get an inspiration. There's countless amounts of sticky notes and scraps of papers in my office right now because of this very thing. If you can picture the scene in your head, it can make it easier to get it into the book. Choose whichever way works for you at that moment to get it written down into the book. I use a few different ways, and find that if I'm having writer's block sometimes all I need to do is switch my medium, then I'm fine and the words flow again. I'm usually a fan for writing it directly into one of my many notebooks, then I transfer to computer later. Other times, I can write directly on the computer, or I have a talk to text program I use sometimes.
