I kind of don't even know how to answer this! I just don't know what I would do if I wasn't a writer. Ever since I was very small I was always writing books and poems to express myself. My mom even still has shelves and shelves of my stapled together stories which are pretty hilarious now when I go and see them (some of the spelling is amazing. I can see where I got my love for not strictly adhering to grammatical rules). For me writing is as essential as breathing-I think I would probably have a mental breakdown if I couldn't do it. So I guess that's the best thing about writing for me! It keeps me alive!

I'm a big fan of having several projects going at once, so if I'm stuck on something, I can work on something else and give my brain a little break. For me what is most helpful is working in different forms at the same time. I'll be working on the third novel for example and get stuck, and decide to transition to write some poetry. Sometimes poetry inspires me in the next turn in the novel, and sometimes the novel will inspire me to write poetry. I also do screenwriting, which is a completely different process altogether and much more collaborative, especially in television. I do try to make sure I'm working on something every day, otherwise I find that I become too precious about my work, and get frustrated when it doesn't come out perfectly. By making a daily habit, I feel much freer to experiment.
