When did you decide to become a writer? About 5 years ago
Do you write full-time or part-time? Part time
Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer just see where an idea
takes you? I usually follow an outline but I am flexible with that as sometimes I
deviate
Do you have a strategy for finding reviewers? I use Goodreads
What are your thoughts on good/bad reviews? Reviews are usually subjective
and often depends on one’s age and own experiences in life especially if they
identify with the story.
