Now here are my own 4 answers to the 4 questions posed:
1. What am I working on?
I'm outlining my fourth novel, Broken Smile, which will be published next February. I'm also editing my third novel, Miller & Bobbie, which will be published this upcoming August.
2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?
My debut novel, In the Middle, differs from other coming of age novels in where it is set, in Phoenix, Arizona, and its narrator, Miller Hoffman. My second novel, Bobbie Lamont, is different from other novels about women in their early forties in that the main character, Bobbie Lamont, is both like and unlike most women her age.
3. Why do I write what I do?
I write fiction because I can be more honest about how I see the world than I could if I wrote nonfiction.
4. How does my writing process work?
I usually come up with either the main character or the situation. And then I outline, writing a page per chapter. And then I write the first draft, using the outline as a guide.
I’m now passing the Writing Process Blog Hop to the writer. Check their blog next week to read their answers to the Four Writing Process Questions.
