Emily Ruben My favorite fictional couple would have to be Lexi and Blake from I Sold Myself to the Devil for Vinyls... pitiful I know. Blake is swoon-worthy, adorable, funny and witty and Lexi is amazing in her unobservant way. Together they make the most awesome fictional couple whose story I enjoyed reading three times already.

Emily Ruben I wish I had found a cure to writer's block but I unfortunately haven't. I usually try to read a lot, listen to a lot of music and open a blank page to wait for ideas to flow. Sometimes it works, other times you just have to wait for inspiration to come to you.
However, I don't think you can eternally be stuck into a writer's block so you have to find your own way out of it by doing things that inspire you to write. Whether that's reading, music, sports or talking to loved ones. Just be patient, inspiration is never too far.
Emily Ruben I could get inspired by really anything. Sometimes it's a song that comes on, sometimes a certain phrase I heard that develops into an idea in my head, and other times it's by reading. I find that the more I read, the more I get inspired to write and improve on it.
Emily Ruben The best thing about being a writer to me is that you get to live a hundred different lives, experience things you maybe wouldn't as yourself and be in control of your characters' lives. You can create a whole new universe with different rules and sometimes you even get the bonus of inspiring your readers. That, to me, is the best thing about being a writer.
Emily Ruben I got the idea riding the bus to University. Just like that, the title "I Was A Bitch" came to me and I started developing the idea while writing everything on the notes app of my phone.
