Meet and Greet Time!

It's Monday Meet & Greet! First off, Happy Labor Day to everyone!

Now, time to get down to business. Here goes:

-Why do you write?

It allows my crazy imagination to break free from the confines of my brain and scatter all over paper (or a computer screen), sometimes in a pattern that may actually make sense; other times as random and nonsensical as an early morning dream.

-Where do you write? 

If at work, I write at my desk, usually on my laptop which sits on my desk. If at home, I write on my laptop on my lap, just as I'm doing right now!

-Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see?

The toss pillows on the couch that I moved to make room to sit down :-)

-Favorite time to write?

Any time at all is good for me!

-Drink of choice while writing?

Coffee in the morning; water during the day; wine at night

-When writing , do you listen to music or do you need complete silence?

I can do either; sometimes I do my best writing while my husband watches TV right next to me. Sometimes my mind just can't tune the distractions out though; but pure silence is so rare in my life, between the noise at work and the noise at home (kids, dogs, a bird, a husband) some type of noise is a constant. Not complaining though :-)

-What was your inspiration for your latest manuscript and where did you find it?

It just came to me while lying in bed one night...nothing to tie it to necessarily.  

-What's your most valuable writing tip?

Put your heart into it and don't give up, no matter what anyone tells you!
