What was your favorite book as a child?
El vampiro y otras visitas by Triunfo Arciniegas and Michael Ende’s Momo.
Do you remember the original reason or motivation why you started writing creatively?
Fell in love with an avoidant one and needed something to stand all the edge. Same ol’, same ol’.
What was the most adventurous or thrilling thing you ever did/experienced?
I honestly don’t even know where to start, I’m on my journey to tame this impulsive nature of mine. This is also why I write... maybe when I ran away from home to never go back when I was fifteen years old. There has been so much life since then.
Do you listen to music while reading or writing?
It depends... sometimes I do, sometimes I do not. If I do, I listen to jazz, dark ambient, sometimes to instrumental hip hop. The hippity-hop.
