Why do you write? Because I tried not writing, and it wasn't fun. Life was far too boring and easy.
What kind of stuff do you write? I've written both straight lit fiction, and I've also ducked into science fiction and young adult. My favorite stuff to write? Dystopian.
When did you start writing? I started writing when I was four. I mean, I didn't get really serious about it until I was nine. My mom drove to a Walgreen's and refused to budge another tire toward the Chuck E. Cheese until I went inside and bought a notebook.
Who are your favorite writers? My favorite writers are Twain, Dickens, Hugo, and Rowling. I also enjoy K.A. Applegate. I think that in order to really understand what kind of a person and writer you are, you need to know both the classics and the contemporary. Always read what you want to read. You'll be happier for it.
