“Stories hand-crafted to transport you to other times and places—and adventures with twists you won’t see coming!” –Tosca Lee
Share a tidbit that has helped you in writing and/or marketing. Have fun—and make it fun for others.
Do you have a mentor and/or author/and/or book that helped you this past year. My husband. He keeps me sane, helps me brainstorm, and reminds me not to take everything so seriously (see above).
What frustrates you the most, the editing or marketing? First drafts!
Do you ever struggle with writer’s block and if so, how do you overcome? I find that “writes block” is a catch-all phrase for mental resistance and/or a lack of preparation—both items I’ve experienced. I hash it out with a trusted confidante, get up to do something mundane or, barring all else, give myself permission to write shoddily and work through it.
Is there a scripture that helped you in your writing journey this past year? The simple knowledge that I am made in the image of the most creative Being in the universe—the same One who created mighty mountains… and strange, whimsical sea creatures.
How do you juggle your life between family and writing? A lot of late hours, my friend. A lot of late night hours.
