edit data

Erin Winters grew up in Raleigh, NC and currently resides in Lynchburg, VA with her husband and son. When she was little she wrote many stories she would likely be appalled to rediscover now, and wanted to be an author around the same time she wanted to be a dolphin trainer. Neither panned out at first, but Erin started writing on the side in August 2017. She started training in the Israeli martial art of Krav Maga around the same time, and enjoys putting bits and pieces from those experiences into her books. Erin also loves steak and potatoes, board games, and curling up in fuzzy socks with a cup of hot chocolate.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

If I got stuck, I would think it through, do any research necessary, and go from there, but if I was really stuck I sometimes needed to start from B and work backwards. For example, okay, I know they have to be at such-and-such a place, and end up in a dungeon or something. What got them in the dungeon? Mixing it up to get your mind going again can be helpful.

In my current work in progress, however, I have a detailed outline and have found that I am FAR less likely to have writer's block because I know everything ahead of time. I run into smaller snags here and there, but they are generally much more manageable.(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

I love the dreaming and writing parts of the process, when I get to imagine these fun characters, creatures, and places and bring them to life. It's incredible to be able to develop a world, invite other people into it, and have them share with you what it was like for them to visit.

I think fantasy in particular is amazing because when I read fantasy, I often start to read because I want to escape, and go to fantastic places I could never really go, pictures myself doing things I wouldn't normally do, like fly, be a magician rule a kingdom, fight the bad guys...whatever. And yet I often find myself staying because of the realism I find there in the characters, dynamics, and worldbuilding elements. Being a part of that experience for myself and then someone else as well is magical.(less)
