Approach to Writing

I’m a people watcher and observer of life. I can get lost in a crowded place. Not from losing my sense of direction but from losing myself in my imagination as I create stories about the people I’m observing and their interactions with the world. I’m a big believer in journals and writing things down as soon as I think of them, especially when it comes to character development and plotting. I’m always asking myself questions: What is that person doing?  What is their motivation? Why did they just do that? What if…?

Favorite Tools of the Trade

Everyone has their favorite things they use.  Whether you are chopping vegetables with your favorite knife, running in your favorite shoes, slouching on the couch in your favorite sweatpants.  Here are some of mine for writing.

Journal. Paper. Pen.

The Basics

I’m a traditionalist.  Paper and pen are my go to’s.

Technology

I’m an Apple enthusiast.  A throw back to my IT days.  In my former line of work, Macs helped keep things more streamlined and secure.

Reading. Always Reading.

Learn. Escape. Dream.

To be a writer, you have to be a reader.  And a student of the craft.  Most of what I read is still paper.  But I also have a large digital collection on iBooks and Kindle.
