Can you tell us a little about the process of getting this
book published? How did you come up with the idea and how did you start? – I
honestly never imagined writing a book. So, when the thought of writing a book
first popped in my mind, I was in my apartment journaling and the idea came to
existence to turn my journaling into a book.
What surprised you most about getting your book published? –
That it actually got published!
Tell us a little about what you do when you aren’t writing?
– When I am not writing, I still journal and volunteer in helping the youth.
As a published author, what would you say was the most
pivotal point of your writing life? – The most pivotal point of my writing life
is seeing the words and emotions I have felt come to life in the hands of the
readers, and also hearing how these words have helped them, in ways I never
would have imagined possible.
Where do you get your best ideas and why do you think that
is? – Nature for sure. When I lived in Washington, the beach was my backyard. I
would take total advantage of a sunny day, because there weren’t many, and go
down by the waters to write. There is just something so calming and peaceful
about the waves crashing on the shore and feeling like I was in another world.
God’s creation is truly lovely.
What is the toughest criticism given to you as an author? –
That I am too young to talk about any life experiences. I’ve learned that I
can’t do anything with other’s people’s opinions about me, except to either let
it define me or leave it behind me.
What has been your best accomplishment as a writer? – The
best accomplishment by far, aside from me being a published author, is to see
how the readers can relate to my writings.
How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have? –
This was my only project ever, so currently none.
