1. How often do you write a week?
If I'm in the mood constantly, but I'm not always in the mood.
2. Do you carry a notebook with you? Is it full of stuff to do with writing?
I don't carry notebooks, but I always have one nearby at home. Related to writing I would use them for outlining or plotting scenes not for actual writing
3. Do you only write when inspired?
No, but only when in the mood.
4. Can you self edit?
I can't write without editting.
5. How do you feel about critique?
It's not the easiest thing to accept, but it's necessary to get better. When I took journalism in High School, the teacher used a sample of my writing early on to show the class many things kids that age did wrong. It was pretty depressing. But I learned the lessons, which helped a lot in college.
6. How do you feel about rejection?
It's not a barrel of fun???
7. Are you misunderstood?
Who isn't?
8. Is your writing misunderstood?
It's seldom misunderstood, just sometimes understood differently than I intended.
9. Do you consider writing a craft? An art?
It's a craft. Getting others to read it, is the art.
10. Have your relationships suffered because of writing?
No. Some of them wouldn't have existed without it.
11. Has your job suffered?
No, which perhaps doesn't say much for the jobs I had.
12. Do you ever get smacked with inspiration?
Smacked no, But I have gotten some pretty good ideas while dreaming, and woken up to write them down.
13. What percentage of writing is talent, inspiration, and hard work?
Professional writing is no doubt mostly hard work. What I do is mostly fun.
14. And most importantly - do you enjoy writing?
If I didn't enjoy it, I would do it!
