I am a wild thing. Are you? Why should pain and joy be equally hard for us to talk about? I will start the conversation for you. Together, we will discover how wild you and I really are.
Triquetra: What does being a successful author look like to you?
Interview
Triquetra: What has influenced you the most as a writer?
What has influenced me the most has been advice from an author who I have felt probably had a
personality entirely different from my own: Ernest Hemingway, who said, “Write hard and clear about
what hurts.” What hurts me is feeling even slightly exposed or vulnerable- especially in the view of
What has influenced me the most has been advice from an author who I have felt probably had a
personality entirely different from my own: Ernest Hemingway, who said, “Write hard and clear about
what hurts.” What hurts me is feeling even slightly exposed or vulnerable- especially in the view of
what feels like the entire world. But it is certainly bluntly honest work, which I have found makes all
the difference when it comes to connecting with others, especially when I am attempting to do so on
social media where everyone wants to seem as cool and as veiled as possible.
Triquetra: What does being a successful author look like to you?
Being a successful author to me means having memories or mementos of times that I have interacted
with people who have read my work and have told me that by facing my own fear and being open with what I have gone through I have been able to help them the way others did for me as I was growing up.
Triqetra: Give a shout-out to a fellow author?
One author who definitely deserves a shout out is my favorite modern poet Lang Leav. She is a wonderfully talented and renowned poet, and since I was in high school she has actually answered all of my tweets and every time I have ever tried to reach out to her. She even just recently answered when I wrote to her on Instagram, asking for advice to get published with Andrews McMeel- whom I want to be published with because they publish her- and she inboxed me back the next day! That’s incredible to me, and I still can’t believe it. I will never not own every one of her books.
Triquetra: What was the hardest part of writing your author bio?
The hardest part of writing my author bio is trying to come across as a regular human being just like all of my readers, and yet be interesting or eclectic enough to be good at what I do. I always try to put something that will make the readers both smile and laugh.
Triquetra: Do you feel like you’d be a better writer if you wore sparkly socks during your writing sessions?
Oh, one hundred percent. I take a lot of time and care with my style- because I am a pain- and I love statement pieces. I want neon glittery socks, now. Sorry, I misspoke. I need them.
Thanks so much to Sasha for this great interview!
