Do you think someone could be a writer if they don’t feel emotions strongly?
That’s an interesting question. I think we all feel strongly about something so it’s a matter of writing about what makes you feel passionate. It’s also a matter of choosing which audience you want to appeal to. For example, there are readers who love Heartwarming style books that are not sexually passionate. There are readers who love a cozy mystery that is not deeply perilous. If you don’t feel you can write strong emotions, you can still write a compelling story that will appeal to certain readers who respond to that type of story.
What was an early experience where you learned that language had power?
I don’t think I fully understood the power of words until I had made some very big mistakes by *not* recognizing they had power. I try to be more careful now, especially when those words are written down. Written, published mistakes are far more permanent.
As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
Some people are very good at distilling themselves into another form. At different times, I’ve wondered why I have never earned a nickname or created a clever online name or found a tattoo that would suit me. In some ways, it’s like trying to find my writing voice. In the early years, I tried to write like this or that author and never pulled it off. I had to learn to trust that whatever is inside me is good enough. I’ve come to see that I’m unique in my own way and that I have to be me, flaws and all, otherwise I’m losing the one thing that I have that no one else does. So I don’t have an avatar unless maybe a mirror?
