Reading Addiction Blog Tours MEET and
GREET
#1 – Do You See Writing as a Career?
I do see writing as a career and it’s a career I want.
#2 – What was the Hardest Part of Your Writing Process?
Editting. The devil is in the detail. The fun part is
telling the story. The hard work begins after the story is done. Not going to
lie. I do not have an eye for details and I’m a big picture person. Telling the
stories is the fun part, and the hardest part is chopping up the sentence
structure, even though you received an ‘A’ in grammar. I know what I say in my
head, and it’s supposed to be on screen.
#3 – Did you have any One Person Who Helped You Out with
Your Writing Outside of Your Family?
I wish my mother read my writing. She loves me and supports
me, but I wish for my family. Other people who helped though, are the many
people I thanked. My local writing community in South
Florida is my center. Sheena, Edi, Ody are all local writers who I
meet regularly with. And I do love my Florida Romance Writers group. They are
an amazing group!
#4 – What is next for your writing?
I sent my other series to my editor which takes Greek Myths
to the modern era. It’s so fun. And with Theseus, I set up a sequel. I’m in the
midst of writing the story about Haemon and Antigone. My contemporary series is
related to retelling the myths of the past. I wrote the contemporaries first,
and the first one in the series is with my awesome editor, Brittiany Koren.
#5 – Do you have an addiction to reading as well as writing?
If so, what are you currently reading?
Do I have addictions? Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! Star Wars,
and count me in the excited that Disney bought them grouping. Science Fiction
shows in general. I have books on my to be read file. I used to be an avid
reader, but I’m writing in November for Nanowrimo. Next month, I’m sure I’ll
read a friend’s book.
This or That?
#1 - iPd or Mp3?
MP3s are easier to manipulate.
#2 – Chocolate or Vanilla?
Can I have both? If I must choose Chocolate!
#3 – Mashed Potatoes or French Fries?
I’m Irish Catholic. The potato is important. If I’m going to
my mom’s to eat though, I want mashed. With a burger fries, making me
particular with the main course I guess.
#4 – Comedy or Drama?
Comedy. I wish they made more romantic comedies. I miss Sandra
Bullock movies.
#5 – Danielle Steel or Nicholas Sparks?
Danielle Steel out of these two, but honestly, neither are
my go too. Victoria Dahl, Jennifer Cruisie are my must reads. Steel’s early I
hear is amazing, and Sparks
kills off his people.
#6 – Fantasy or Reality?
Fantasy. Truth is my reality is pretty upbeat and prefer
being an optimist.
#7 – Call or Text?
Call me. If you are giving directions, texts. But I don’t
want to type out essays to my friends and get multiple texts back. It’s easier
to call.
#8 – Public School or Home School?
Public School. We’re losing the ability to socialize in the
computer age. I’m wishing we had more face to face time as we learn from each
other.
#9 – Coffee or Hot Chocolate
Coffee wakes me up, but hot chocolate is delicious. For
everyday purposes, coffee.
#10 – eBook or Paperback?
I read more with my eBooks, but I love print books. I tend
to do both, but lately the ebook has been winning due to convenience.
