Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I do! My grandfather and I were talking one morning about writing (I was about ten at the time). I had on my pajamas, and my grandfather looked at them and said, "You should write a book about the characters on pajamas coming to life." That stuck with me, and it's the first story, a children's story, I wrote.
What is your writing process?
I don't really have one. If the mood strikes me, I'll write. Sometimes I go back and edit after every paragraph. Sometimes, I'll write a few pages and step away for a few days before I come back to edit. If that's the case, I've been known to scrap almost all of what I thought was "great" just a few days before. It all depends.
