Interview Questions
QCP: When did you decide to become a writer?
I think I was in grade two. My mother was a librarian and read to my siblings and me daily when we were kids. So at an early age, I had a long list of favourite books. And my father was a great storyteller. I feel like I was always absorbing a story or trying to tell one.
QCP: Do you write every day? If not, how many days do you dedicate to writing?
I write or rewrite in some form every day. When I don’t feel like it, I force myself. It’s like flossing; it can be an ugly process, but you rarely regret it.
