I love Interview Questions- it’s fun, forces reflection and contemplation; raises self-awareness, and personally, makes me feel like a celebrity! (How’s that for honesty?!)

Anyway, here are June’s questions with responses:

[1] As a writer, how do you come up with new ideas? How do you capture them so that they are ready when you sit down to write?

I get ideas mostly from reading- books, articles, the occasional Twitter thread. I read a lot and dwell on those ideas and thoughts even more- so they are really my source of ideas.

I jot down ideas in my trusty iPhone Notes, Kindle Notes and on Medium drafts. I also recently discovered the feature of sharing highlights on Kindle as #KindleQuotes via Twitter, Goodreads. Those help greatly as well.

[2] On the spectrum of introvert — ambivert — extrovert, where would you place yourself? What are some reason(s) you think you might place in that position? Does it change depending on context?
