Blog Tour

I was invited to participate in the Blog Tour by the bright and shining light that is Jackie, whom I have had the joy of knowing for many years after having met at Meredith College. I hope to be half as awesome as her one day. Or at least be able to do a cartwheel. (Seriously, I wanna do a cartwheel. It's what all the cool kids are doing these days, isn't it?)

On with the show!

1. What am I working on? 

What am I not working on? That might be easier to answer. I'm about to enter my third and final semester of my massage therapy program. I'm ankle deep in writing a murder mystery, and working full time as a bonafide production artist. I live off of chocolate, coffee, and tears at this point.

2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?

I think the fact that I come equipped with a certain sort of madness helps set me apart. That, and I don't seem to fit snuggly into any genre anyway, so I stopped trying. I've written children's picture books, murder mysteries, magical realism, poetry, and memoirs. I'll write anything once!

3. Why do I write/create what I do? 

Because if I didn't there would be a lot more mayhem. I can't not be creative. I don't have it in me.

4. How does your writing/creating process work?

There's a lot of madness to my method. I usually get up, come to work, go to class, chill out to music, and then write like a mad scientist until I've met my daily word count. Some days are more productive than others, of course. I don't always have time to write as much as I'd like due to homework or the day job that keeps me fed and pays the bills. But I've enjoyed my "slow and steady" pace. Like a tortoise stampeding through peanut butter.

Many thanks to Jackie for including me in the Blog Tour! It's been fun, y'all.
