Heather asked Natasha Diaz:

What was your writing schedule like for COLOR ME IN?

Natasha Diaz I sold Color Me In on spec (with a five page summary and the first 6 chapters) so my schedule has been a little different than most debut authors who have a finished product. I spent about six months writing the first draft AKA pacing around my apartment until inspiration struck and then writing until I felt like I was going to pass out, rinse and repeat. I submitted draft 1 to my editor in November and then got my edit note a month later and have been revising since then (same pacing/stressing system) and I am hoping to have this revision in by the end of the month!
