1. What is your favorite Autumn Time activity?
Hikes in the mountain.
2. What is one of your writing quirks?
Since I am a graphic designer as well as an author, all the sentences have to look aesthetically pleasing or I will re-word. I’m also a lyricist so all the sentences have to flow as well.
3. Which of your books was your favorite to write? And why?
Probably my last book. I feel like I become a better writer everytime I write.
4. Who is the person or group of people who most support you in your writing? What have they done for you?
My husband helped me overcome barriers to writing, my father-in-law and dad both edited, my book manager has saved the day so many times, and my developmental editors did a lot of painstaking work to make the books ready to read.
5. What is your trick for getting past writer’s block? And what advice would you give to others who are struggling?
I don’t believe in writer’s block. That thing people call writer’s block could signal that creative energy is to be devoted elsewhere, or that you are in the winter of your creative cycle which is not a bad thing. For more on this see my book Time Management for Creative People.
6. Autumn time has its own set of foods/flavors. What is your favorite Autumn comfort food?
Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Get two and put cream cheese in the middle for a yummy cookie sandwich.
