I first got into writing because of my mother. She encouraged me and sometimes offered me advice. So, for this interview, I went with my mother and how she writes her own stories.
Q1: What are the hardest scenes to write?
It’s romance because the emotion for a romance scene is very delicate. You really have to get it right for the scene to come across as something romantic and believable and not cliche.
Q2: When you write dialogue what trick do you like to use?
I like to write what the character is doing and feeling in a separate paragraph before the character says something. It makes the dialogue less redundant.
Q3: What type of POV do you like to write in?
First person is easier to write but I hate it. I can’t explain what the other characters are thinking and feeling. I like to talk through the eyes of multiple characters and show how each of them is feeling. So, I like to write in 3rd person.
Q4: What is one thing you recommend doing when writing dialogue?
Give each line its own paragraph. If you stick your dialogue in a giant paragraph its hard for the eyes to follow.
Q: What is your writing process?
I come up with the general idea and the plot first and then jot down the scenes I want to happen in each chapter. After that, I decide and make my characters. Usually, I use an outline to keep everything organized.
