On with the meet and greet question portion. drum roll puleaseeeee.
Where do you write? I write at my desk in my living room. I work at home, so the minute my day is over, it's just beginning. I shove my monitor back and bring out my laptop. Needless to say, I have no life.
Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? Cobwebs.
Favorite time to write? Late at night.
Drink of choice while writing? Dunkin' donuts coffee and brisk iced tea. What can I say, I'm a hot and cold drinker.
When writing, do you listen to music or do you need complete silence? Complete and utter silence. But I need to smell my characters. Depends on who I am writing, today for example, I'm wearing Luke. He's my vanilla guy. Sapphire blue eyes, sultry voice and shaggy brown hair.
What was your inspiration for your latest manuscript and where did you find it? I've always loved fairytales. And now that I'm a grandmother, I've been revisiting them like old friends.
What's your most valuable writing tip? Backstory. Know your characters well. It will make their voice and actions real. If you know where they come from it will drive the story. Also, don't force the story, let it take you where it wants to go. You can always change it.
