When Did you first want to become a writer ?

When I was reading Goosebumps and suddenly became inspired on first starting out with a scary children’s book. I STILL LOVE JUNIE B; JONES (at my big ol age).

I tried writing a scary book and the storyline wasn’t storylining, 😂so I said to myself, “I’ll come back to this later”. Til this day, I still don’t know how to come up with a scary storyline in inspiration of R.L Stine.

Thats when 2016 came around and Deception, Lies and Betrayal was born. After was a book 2 and 3. Book 4 is in the works for completion of the sequel. I LOVE & have such passion for writing! It’s also displeasing when networking with other authors and they’re not as friendly and ready to connect. Hence, why I like to stay to myself and network with readers who enjoy reading and enjoy the authors work! I’ll network and connect with readers but as far as networking and connecting with authors, im good. 😂✌🏾

... Read moreThe journey to becoming a writer is often filled with unique inspirations and challenges that shape an individual's passion for storytelling. Many aspiring writers find their roots in childhood favorites—like R.L. Stine's Goosebumps, which sparked a desire to create their own tales. Embracing creativity is essential, even when initial attempts don't align with expectations, as seen with some humorous storyline difficulties. As writers evolve, they may create multiple works, such as sequels that delve deeper into beloved narratives. The importance of networking within the writing community can also play a pivotal role; however, experiences can vary, leading some to prefer connecting with readers over other authors. The world of writing isn't just about words; it's about building relationships and sharing unique stories that resonate with audiences. This community aspect can be incredibly fulfilling, emphasizing the joy of engaging with readers who appreciate the art of storytelling. Writers are always searching for that perfect story—learning, growing, and sharing their love for writing with the world.
