I've never actually had figgy pudding. What's it like?
Kieshia Chun I have no idea, I’ve never had it either. But it sounds icky, ha ha! I don’t like figs though, do you?

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Kieshia Chun Take a break. Change my surroundings and do something that chills me out, like read, watch my favourite tv show or diamond painting. Taking a bath has given me lots of ideas before now. I do whatever takes the pressure out of it; sometimes I have external issues like kids, bills, etc that need to be addressed first to clear my mind.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Kieshia Chun Don’t worry about the how’s, why’s and when’s. Just write. Ideas will come to you and the process will open up as you go, along with options. Find yourself a space and write. I often write on my phone or iPad. You don’t need an expensive laptop to put your ideas to paper.

What are you currently working on?
Kieshia Chun I’m working on a few books. A couple of children’s stories and I’m in the process of a rhyming series. I’m also in the process of writing an adult novel, a romance, which I’m excited about.

How do you get inspired to write?
Kieshia Chun Honestly, several things inspire me. Sometimes, it’s my children; sometimes it’s circumstances or how I’m feeling at the time. I have to be in the right headspace though, so I try to relax before and ideas come to me.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Kieshia Chun My son was being particular about eating his dinner at a local restaurant and telling me he didn’t like what was on his plate despite having never eaten it before. It resulted in me writing Peter the Picky Polar Bear at my table. I’m not sure why a polar bear, it just came to me.
