Where do you write?     In a corner in my kitchen. It’s actually my husband’s desk. If I sit at my own, I get distracted and do other things.

Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see?      A stack of those yellow notepads, my money tree (I think it’s good luck), and a pencil sharpener.

Favorite time to write?     Morning. I will have to switch back to night writing since I’m going back to work. It will take some getting used to.

Drink of choice while writing?    Coffee. Then I switch to water with lots of ice.

When writing, do you listen to music or do you need complete silence?    I prefer to listen to music. Right now, I’m listening to the theme song to My Little Pony along with the new Linkin Park album.

What was your inspiration for your latest manuscript and where did you find it?    When I first set out to write, it was a mess. I was all over the place and throwing everything into it. Then a song came on–She Talks to Angels, by the Black Crowes. The song itself has to do with drugs, but taking it a little more literally, it led to my main character. That one song gave my entire story a new direction.

What’s your most valuable writing tip?    Read a lot. Then write a lot.

Thanks for reading!! See you all in the blog hop
