I'd like to welcome Hope Bolinger to the blog for an interview! I read one of Hope's books last year and loved it!
Onto the interview!
Do you have a set routine for writing?
I do. It's all mathematical. I tend to have a research period. And once I have compiled enough to be an "expert" in a topic, I feel ready to write. I craft a skeletonic outline and then I get going. I have a set word count I try to aim for each day, until I hit the final word count for the first draft.
What's your favourite tip for newbie writers?
Have fun with the process. Writing is, unfortunately, the easy part. The editing, the marketing, everything afterward can be soul-sucking, so have fun with it. Write something you really believe in.
Which genre is your favourite to write in?
This is so hard to choose because I write MG, YA, and sweet romances. I think it depends on my mood, but the weirder, the better. Anything that stretches my imagination.
Do you have any pets?
I do! Two very silly cats named Odin and Freya. They love each other. They tolerate me.
Paperback or ebook? And why?
I'm a paperback girlie. There's just something in you that feels so accomplished when you're physically flipping pages.
Where do you see yourself, and your writing, in ten years?
I'm not sure, because I've been surprised by the last ten years of writing. I imagine I'll keep being surprised.
What's your favourite writing snack?
I actually forget to eat when I write. It's a problem.
