I toyed around with an idea I had a while back, but I don't think it's a good idea to share right now. It needs some work. But, maybe someday.

Take the time you need to build a good foundation. Don't just dive into that first chapter because you have a good scene in your head. You need to know your characters because if you don't the reader will be able to tell.

I think I love all of them in their own way. I think write now, my answer would be Connor from On the Bones of a Queen, but yesterday it was Taylor, and a couple of weeks ago it was Ben from We are the Hunted.

To be honest, I haven't been reading much this year, but back in January, I read the second book in Sarah J Maas's Crescent City series, and it was great! I read the Heartstopper books which were amazing as well.

Everything! I love pop mostly, but I listen to bits of every genre. I really love Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift. I also love Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Adele, and so many other fantastic artists.

Nothing at the moment. I just finished a project yesterday, but I'm already trying to figure out what's next. Maybe book 8 of Lost in Love. Maybe another book in Murraina... Hmmmm... Who knows!

I don't really write about my own life at face value. Rather, I'll input emotional interpretations of my life into the characters I create. Details are different, but the scenes or plots will have the same emotional value.

I think the mystery of my mom's family history would make a good book.

Narnia. I would go to Narnia, and I would never come back. I would explore the entire map.

As he stood there, looking across the empty room; he knew it was over. There would never be a time he felt more loved, or happy; only darkness and silence would greet him in the future, not love; never love.

I really want to read Furyborn. My goal is to read it this summer. Also, I'd love to reread "A Court of Thorns and Roses" this summer.

I’m currently editing my teen romance, but I’m also writing a high fantasy project.

I don’t. Writer’s block deals with me.
All kidding aside. I just try to reread what I have so far, and I think about the characters, until something hits me.

Watching the story unfold as you write. Creating characters, and watching them come to life.

Never give up. I have around 50 unfinished manuscripts because I always give up on stuff and start over with something new. I’ve just recently started going back to finish those. You started that book for a reason, don’t forget that.

I name a lot of my chapters/novels after songs. I’m really big into symbolic meaning. So if I’m writing something that is inspired by a song/album, I’ll play that music while writing.

I wanted to write something that tells stories that real people are going through. I was inspired by a TV show called Degrassi. They tell all of these important stories that I feel people need to know. I want to tell stories that would have helped me as a teen, stories that could help people now.
