When she's not at work or school, Sofia spends her time writing. Though she likes to dabble in all sorts of genres, her first love--both to read and write--has always been fantasy. Her debut novel, Songstruck, is currently available in ebook and paperback. Her short stories can be found on QuarterReads.com.

She's also still trying to get the hang of Goodreads, and promises to eventually remember to keep her "currently-reading" and "to-read" lists up to date. ...more

That's why I always have a few different projects on my plate. If I'm blocked on one story, I switch to another; it's very rare for me to be blocked on *all* of the stories I'm working on. Sometimes working on other stories helps me to distance myself from the work I'm blocked on, helping me to step back and see where I need to go next.(less)

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

When you start out, your writing probably won't be brilliant. In fact, it might be downright embarrassing. That's good, and it's normal. The only way to improve is to keep practicing. I still have some of the stories I wrote in elementary school and middle school, and I take them out and read them every now and then. It's a little painful, but it's a much-needed reminder that I've improved over the years, and the only reason I improved (and will continue to improve) is because I kept practicing.

Also, make use of critique groups. It can be intimidating, the idea of sharing your writing with people who are more-or-less strangers, but getting outside eyes on your work is a BIG part of improving. Sometimes, you're just too close to your writing to see what needs changed or where you can improve.(less)

Where Have I Been??? (and some news!)

Currently listening to: Say Amen, Panic! at the Disco

Could I have gone any longer without making a new blog post? A year and a half or so since my last post…that’s probably a new record. So what have I been up to, you may ask? Well, there’s been a lot of writing involved. Songstuck’s sequel has been revamped…oh, maybe 4 times now? To be quite honest, I’d been hitting some creative blocks with the
