FAQ

Inspiration can be found everywhere - from conversations with friends to a single line in a book. I find that reading other authors and immersing myself in their stories helps me tap into my own creativity. My environment is also a huge source of inspiration – nature, new cultures, art, music, etc. Finally, I try to pay attention to my own life experiences and emotions – these are all great starting points for creating stories.

When I'm developing a character, I like to start by asking myself questions about them – their backstory, personality and even physical traits. From there, I can flesh out my characters more fully by giving them unique motivations for the plot. I also like to give characters flaws or quirks that make them feel three-dimensional and real. Finally, I try to find ways to make sure that each character has something at stake in the story.

I usually know when a story is finished because it feels complete - all of the major plot points have been addressed and the characters have reached their respective goals. That being said, I'm always open to edits and revisions. It's important to get feedback from trusted readers in order to make sure that the story is properly developed and entertaining.

My number one piece of advice to new fiction writers is to never worry about perfection. Writing can be daunting, when it comes to sharing your work with others. But it's important to remind yourself that you're learning and growing every step of the way.
