Why do you write?

I write because, in my mind, I can see a story that is beautiful, to me at least, unfolding before me and I want to record it so I can have it forever. Also, sometimes I write simply to get out whatever feelings I have, though I don't generally show those to anyone else.

Out of all your stories, which one is your favorite?

My most popular one is Legacy, and I loved that when I first wrote it, but after reading and revising it so many times, I got a little bored of it. Also, that one is a fanfiction of an amazing story my friend wrote, so not all of the characters are my own, though they are slightly different from hers. So, I guess, my favorite story is whichever one I'm working on at the time, which right now is either Through the Mist or Night Stalker, I'm pretty excited for both.

How do you create your characters?

I don't really feel like I create them or their stories, I'm simply looking on and relating what I see. Also, as I previously mentioned, in Legacy, the two main characters, though tweaked, are not mine, and everyone else, I just saw with them.

Out of your characters, which one are you the most like?

I believe I'm most like a cross of the main character in Legacy (she does not have a name) and Rose from Through the Mist (although I was originally intending to base her sister Christina on myself)

What do you do when you have writer’s block?

I stop writing for as long as it lasts and read as much as can from the authors that inspired me in the first place.

How do you plan out your stories?

I don't. I just see where my characters take me. A lot of times people will comment that I should have had more signs earlier in a story of something that happened near the end and I just have to say, I honestly had no idea that was going to happen, it just did. As stupid as it sounds, I do not control my character's actions
