I go on a road trip, travel somewhere, or wander around my local park or my favorite museum.
I set up a meeting with my colleagues or meet a good friend at a coffee shop to brainstorm.
Why do you think someone would enjoy reading something you’ve written?
It has a thoughtful and well-constructed plotline, or it contains a lot of helpful information.
It will make them laugh, cry, or throw things, from the comfort of their couches or swivel chairs.
It will prompt them to do something new or stir them to appreciate their daily circumstances.
It will help them better understand people who are different, and to connect with others.
What type of writing do you enjoy reading the most?
A good mystery with a plot-twist, a work of nonfiction, or a well-written news article.
Anything that keeps me amused and distracted from the humdrum of everyday life.
Creative writing, or something that encourages me to intensely think about or feel something.
Works that have multiple writers and editors, or anything that’s on my book club’s reading list.
Why do you want to be a writer? Or why do you enjoy writing?

Colorful settings with whimsical and unique characters who overcome some major obstacles.
Characters that I can relate to or come to admire, who learn about themselves and others.
What is your general attitude toward conventional grammar rules?
They’re essential to anything you could ever write, and they should always be followed.
Eh, they’re okay when they can help me set up a good joke or a clever quip about something.
