What I read:
As depressing or heartfelt as many of my writing samples seem to be
, I actually don't like to read that kind of stuff. In fact
, I only post stuff that I never plan to publish
, so a lot of it is my "therapy" writing.
Uhhh I like to read Chicklit and YA. Some women's fiction
, like Alice Hoffman
, although I've gotten pretty sick of her stuff by now. I also like humor
, and lots of it.
What I write:
I write music-infused fiction. Okay
, how can that work when reading is a medium entirely different from listening? Well
, I create the atmosphere and ambiance of a music community. I'm pretty adamantly against name-dropping in my writing. Basically
, I figured since I couldn't play an instrument
, I'd write about music. My current novel is about a DJ who falls in love with a (local) rockstar.
Oh yeah
, the short answer is humor + chicklit. ;)
What I listen to:
I only digress from anything writing-related to talk about my second love: music.
