W.S. Carmichael:
(a) How long have you been writing and (b) what is your biggest inspiration to start a new book?
W.S. Carmichael
I've been writing professionally for four years, but I've written for my personal use for much longer than that.
When I'm starting a new book, I generally let the characters tell the story. I may start out with a general situation in mind, but once the main characters begin to take shape they take over the direction the storyline will go. The series I am working on now began with a short scene where the female lead becomes frustrated with a woman who is the epitome of a ditzy female. That one scene turned into a three book series.
I can't wait to see what the characters have in mind.
