This Interview Answers All Your Burning Questions

Y’all ready for Hot Girl Summer Pt. 2?

yet another tacky edit from YA GIRL

These questions were created by Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for the writers of the Medium publication The Brain is a Noodle.

[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?

Spontaneous inspiration rules my writing life (usually). That’s how my best pieces are made. I see something, feel that lovely magic of inspiration, and write. Or, if I can’t write I’ll jot down the idea in my notes.

The last time this happened I was watching Netflix’s Ginny and Georgia with my sister. I had a sudden urge to write a wild YA novel. So, I scribbled down the idea in my notes and got back to watching that beautiful mess. If you haven’t watched Ginny and Georgia, please do.

[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?
