How long have you been writing?  

I started writing in January 2007 and haven’t stopped since.  I got the idea for a story and started writing.  I didn’t tell anyone what I was doing until I was half way done.  

Have you always wanted to write or was that something that come later in life?

 I picked up the writing bug later in life.   My husband always said that I could tell a good story before then, but once I started writing, it seemed to fulfill a need I never knew existed.  

Do you plot your stories before writing or does it just flow when you sit down to write?  

I have an idea where I want a story to go before I start, but I don’t plot them out in detail.  I usually let the story take me where it wants to go.  

Do you use a Story Board (Notebooks) to keep everything organized for when you write series?   

I keep a few notes and go from there.  I don’t keep detailed cards or anything like that.  What I often do is reread the earlier stories.  

What is the hardest part of writing for you character growth or world building?  Neither one.  I think I’m very lucky in that often when I get an idea, the setting and characters are suggested.  My husband is a great sounding board.  Just last night I told him about the story running through my head while the two of us were in bed.  Sometimes the pillow talk can get exciting.
