Question 1

What does your ideal writing day/routine look like?

Accepted Answer

I didn't have a routine before, but after the COVID happened and the quarantine started, I always write after lunch and do everything have to do, that has nothing to do with writing, in the morning. I take this as a job, so I try to stick to my routine as much as I can.

Question 2

Do you use an outline or discover the story as you go?

Accepted Answer

I write an outline or a summary of what I want to add into the story. Sometimes it works, sometimes something comes up as I'm writing it, but I discovered if I write a summary its lot easier to remember where the story is supposed to go.

Question 3

What was the very first story you ever wrote?

Accepted Answer

It was a fanfiction :) It wasn't the greatest story ever, but I do remember it was a Mulder/Scully romance story since I was a HUGE fan of The X Files. I'm 100% it wasn't good, but I always said I'm a fanfiction writer first because it helped me improve my writing skills.

Question 4

If you could have any famous writer, living or dead, mentor you, who would it be?"

Accepted Answer

This is an awesome question.  I would love for Linda Fairstain or William Bernhardt to mentor me. I love them both. They write crime stories and those, as you might know, are my favorite and they're awesome writers. I had the fortune of speaking to Mr. Bernhardt asking for advice, and he was kind enough to answer all of my questions :) made my day!

Question 5

What is your favorite thing to write? (can be genre, or type of character or scene)"

Accepted Answer

I love writing crime stories. Its my favorite genre in the whole wide world. I always say, I know its sound weird when I say it, that I was born to write crime stories and I can't see myself writing anything else. Though I did venture into paranormal BUT there's always a crime in it too!  Also, I like adding a bit of romance into the stories too. I don't know why but there's something attractive about a MC falling for a detective or vice-versa
