Life Quote: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference (Robert Frost)
As a writer:
-I usually get inspiration from actual life events - news headlines - or funny events that happen to friends and family around me. I fictionalize everything to make it more dramatic, of course!
-I write best in the early morning.
-My writing style is accessible and modern.
Writing Tips:
My writing tips are simply to develop your own voice and don't be afraid to stick with that voice. Be proud of it. Write every day, and if you can't write every day, write more the next day! Stick with a writing routine. Make it like making coffee every morning or taking your dog for a walk. (I won't say exercise because many of us never manage to stick with that!) If you write a book and it doesn't sell, write another one. Don't give up on your dreams. If you're passionate and you work hard, you'll get there. Above all, have fun with it!
