It's such a stereotypical answer, but Hogwarts. I would love to go and learn magic (particularly potions because I feel like I would be good at it). But I would like to make sure that I'm there either long before or long after Harry. I don't want to deal with all of the stuff that happened while he was there.

I have many fictional couples that I love, but the first one that came to mind was Levi and Cath from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I've always loved the two of them, and I especially love them together! A big part of that probably has to do with the fact that I relate a lot to Cath, so I felt like I could really understand their relationship. Plus, it felt very real, which is always nice to read.

Not well. Usually I just end up not writing for a few days (definitely do not do this). However, finding a write in, whether in person or virtual, is also a huge help because it pushes you to move past whatever is causing your block.

The crazy things that I get to google on a regular basis. I'm sure I've been flagged by the government by now.

Never give up. One day, you will make it, and it will feel amazing.

I'm working on a fantasy Rapunzel retelling right now for NaNoWriMo, but I don't know if anything is going to come out of it.

A big inspiration for me comes from music. Every novel I write has a playlist, and until I have a playlist that is decently long, I can never seem to sit down and write.

The strange thing is the original idea started with a Tumblr post that my friend sent to me forever ago. It expanded from something that I thought could be a funny little short story into this novel!
