Interesting questions. I write because, like anything I do creatively, I`m not sure I wouldn`t burst asunder if I didn`t, or couldn`t. I enjoy the crafting of it the most, and the process of creatively solving the problems that I face as I write. The crafting aspect of it all is the most satisfying of it for me. I also sculpt and consider writing as sculpting, only with words instead of clay. The idea is what made me start, as with everything. The idea is the catalyst, the flash, the burst of inspiration, the energy it gives you as you face the endless days of writing. My first novel was based in the superhero genre, my second is about an undercover cop, so I`m not solely a single genre writer. The idea drives.

My longer and more thoughtful stories are usually written to illustrate a specific issue in today's society. Then I build the story around that original core, or heart.

What Made you decide you liked to write? I'm not sure if I have decided I like writing yet. Writing challenges me. I want to every page be perfect - on the first draft, and this perfectionist attitude of mine has kept me from writing over the years, as I would spend hours on end proofreading and editing the sentence, paragraph, or page that I had just completed. I didn't have Writer's Block. I had Writer's Gridlock. With the constant rewriting I never got anywhere. Miraculously, I solved this problem a few months ago by changing the voice I used in stories. The voice of my story became the voice that I used for myself. It just flows. Before, I was trying to use a more grandiose, complex writing style that was littered with metaphors and similes and words only used in research papers . Now my story is just me, at least for the first draft. Turns out my voice needs some shining and polishing, but at least I get the story out there. Back to the question. The weekend when I broke my Writer's Gridlock and wrote for forty-eight hours straight, I also learned that writing from "this voice" is pretty fun.

1.) What compells you to write? A simple answer would do this question no justice. Many people write, In fact, almost everyone at one point has typed something or writen something on a piece of paper, because the HAD to.
