Q&A
What was your favorite book as a child?
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
What was the original reason or motivation why you started writing creatively?
I think I was made to write, honestly. There was no phase in my life where I didn’t write. I have written ever since I knew how to put a pencil on a paper.
What was the most adventurous or thrilling thing you ever did/experienced?
Literary-wise, the act of submitting my works to lit journals and magazines feels thrilling. You’ll never know where your “darlings” will end up.
Do you listen to music while reading or writing? Why/why not?
Nope! It’s distracting for me.
