Hi my name is Tanya and I am doing an interpretation essay on, "This is What it Means to Say Phoenix Arizona"(1993), written by Sherman Alexie. Did you do an analysis of work, for this short story? I'm curious because I really appreciated it, and included some of what you said about the story in my essay.
Candace Andrews Where did you find the analysis?

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?
Candace Andrews Wow! That is a good but difficult question. Right of the top of my head, it would have to be Jane Eyre and Rochester. I love it how they each need to go through their separate trials and tribulations before they are exactly right for each other. How about you? Who is your favorite fictional couple and why?

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Candace Andrews When I have writer's block, I simply put my writing aside and attend to it later. I may go for a walk or do something entirely different for a while, like listening to music or watching a film. Sometimes just "sleeping on it" does the trick. For example, I originally had a different title for my book, but I woke up in the middle of the night with a better title—the title it has now.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Candace Andrews The best thing about being a writer is that you can set your own schedule, and there is only yourself to answer to. You can write as often as your like or as little as you like; you can write every day or every week and there is no one looking over your shoulder.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Candace Andrews My book arose out of my own personal experience, so I didn't have to look far for that. I had been thinking about this book for many years, and when I retired from full-time teaching, I finally had the time to write it.
