Interview questions
Hi, thank you for accepting to be interviewed. As my blog
says ‘ Complete randomness from a crazy author’ so expect the unexpected.
How long have you wanted to be a writer?
I
never thought about wanting to be a writer. I always liked writing, creating my
own stories and characters. To me it was more of a hobby than something to make
a career of. It was not until much later that I began to think more of being a
serious writer.
Have
you come up against any hurdles along the way?
Only
of my own making. Procrastination, doubting my writing abilities, things like
that. I've been fortunate to have people who support me and what I do.
I
know exactly how you feel. Facebook is draws me in and does not like me to
leave. And when it comes to doubting myself I was the exact same.
What
would you say is the most difficult thing about being a writer is?
For
me, personally, it is developing fantasy characters that are outside the norm
of what one usually expects. Not having the right background for a particular
character can leave me stuck until I figure it out.
What
or who inspires you to write?
The
things around me, life, experience and the odd thoughts in my head that are dying
to get out.
If your books are a series, how many books do
you plan to have in your series?
I'm currently working
on a trilogy.
That’s
cool J
Do
you have any other writing projects on the go, apart from your current series?
Not at the moment.
If you could be any of
your characters who would it be and why?
Old
Sister. Depending on who sees her she can either be an old woman stooped with
age, or a young girl. When something happens she knows about it no matter where
she is and she lives in a giant black walnut tree that grew out of the middle
of a creek.
Oh I
like the sound of her.
What
genre would you say your books are in?
Fantasy/horror.
I fought the idea of fantasy because I don't really care for it, but I had to
finally accept my writing for what it was.
Do
you have any favourite authors?
Harper
Lee, Stephen King, O Henry
As a
Brit we have one burning question going around our country…………… Do you scrunch
or fold? ;) (toilet paper)
Both,
but not at the same time.
I am
the exact same.
What
do you like to do besides writing?
Bake,
crochet, and I'm still a kid at heart who plays video games. I have a soft spot
for Zelda games.
I
love computer games. I play a lot of facebook, then I have a Xbox and a PS3. I
can’t say I have ever played any Zelda games though. I am more of a sims
person.
What
is your favourite cheese?
Sharp
Cheddar.
Sweet
or savoury?
Savoury.
Would
you rather be attacked by one horse sized duck or 20 duck sized horses?
20
duck sized horses.
If
you had one wish that I could wave a magic wand and grant you, what would it be
and why?
To
buy a house with cash. To be able to live closer to loved ones.
That sounds like a
great idea J
Well that is the end
of the interview. Thank you so much for taking part and keep us all posted on
your work J
