Q1: How long have you been writing?

All my life! As long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed writing. In elementary school I sat on the playground reading books and writing my own stories. In middle school I wrote stories in the margins of my notes when I was suposed to be doing math. In high school I wrote stories backstage while working as stage crew for the drama club. Writing has always been in my blood!

​

Q2: How many pets do you have?

A lot. Like a loooooot. Currently I have two dogs, two parakeets, and an African Grey parrot named Winnie.

​

Q3: What's your writing process like?

That depends on the day! Sometimes when I have a new story idea, I'll take long bike rides to brainstorm the plot. Then I'll stop and write at benches along my bike riding route. Sometimes I write by pacing in circles around my reading room and using dictation software. That's where I can talk to the computer and it writes for me! Sometimes I write outside, and sometimes I write at my desk. The trick is, I have to move around to write. If I can find a way to write while (or in between) movement, it makes it so much easier!

​

Q4: Can I write stories?

Of course you can! If you have an idea, you can 100% write a story. Anyone can be an author, whether you take classes for writing, or just decide you want to write a book one day. It doesn't matter who you are or where you are: If you have a story to tell, give it a try!
