But in the meantime, she enjoys counting her lucky stars and finding words for the countless stories they inspire. She currently lives in California with her family and an open view of the sky.

If I don't exactly know what happens next or what a place looks like or what someone is feeling, I ask the character who would know best (sometimes the MC, sometimes the antagonist, sometimes someone else), and I write down what they tell me, in their words.

Corny, I know, right? But hear me out. There's the quiet, personal joy of crafting words on a page late into the night when the magic is yours alone to tend like a small fire. And then there's the exponential, outward joy of seeing those words alight in the minds of readers, at readings, in messages they send you, in the blaze of art they go on to create and courage they go on to express. Joy multiplied = the best thing about being a writer.(less)
