I agreed to put in a blog post as part of a blog hopping event. The writer who asked me to participate is Vila Gingerich. http://vilagingerich.weebly.com.
You might not know who she is now, but when her books are published you will, she is an exceptional writer and I can't wait to own printed copies of her work.
Here are the questions I was asked:
1. What am I working on?
Right now I'm working on a short story for a collection being put together by my friend Joshua Mercier from The Bearded Scribe called "Twice Upon a Time." The collection is going to be fairy tales re-written with a speculative twist. Mine is a re-take on Goldilocks and the Three Bears called "Meta-locks"
2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?
Most people are pretty surprised to see a book that is a Christian/Fantasy/Science-Fiction/Dystopian. It's not normally a grouping you would see together, but it has been done, as anyone who has read C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy would know.
3) Why do I write what I do?
I want to write books I would want to read. I like books for kids the best. So I write books for kids.
4) How does my writing process work?
Sometimes I will go crazy and do nothing but write for days on end. Sometimes I only write a few minutes a day. It depends on what's going on with the family and how I feel about it that day.

Thanks for the shout-out, Angela, and for your kind-kind words!
ReplyDeleteAs a fan of Toby, I'm looking forward to your version of Goldilocks. :)
