I start with a lot of handwriting, scribbling thoughts in notepads. Then, I take it to my computer to organize those thoughts into outlines and themes. Once I have a structure, I go back to the notepad to handwrite ideas for each part or chapter. Then it’s back to the computer for the first draft.

Usually from my incessant internal dialogue. I get them listening to conversations, from books, and movies. Ideas come when I’m out for a walk or a run. With a long backlog, I’ve never had a shortage of ideas. The trouble is in choosing which one to manifest. It’s usually the ones that bother me the most, the ideas that will not stop torturing me until I write them.

I’m a fan of romantics like William Blake and Percy Shelley. I am highly influenced by Eastern philosophy and poetry, like the works of Lao Tzu, Bashō, Miyamoto Musashi and Bruce Lee. Other favorite poets include Georgia Douglas Johnson, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Rainer Maria Rilke.

Writing is a passion for me, rather than a guaranteed source of income. I invest significantly in professional editing and polishing for my books. Given the time, care, and attention devoted to each project, I aim to price them in a way that balances affordability with a reasonable return on investment.

I work with illustrators, editors and beta readers on my books. I have not yet collaborated with a co-author, but I would like to at some point.

I use various AI writing tools, such as ProWritingAid, that help with basic grammar. But I don’t use it for story structure and prefer to work with a human editor in that regard. Having someone to discuss the work with keeps my organic voice throughout the process. But I am not against AI. It is becoming a regular part of our culture, and it can be useful. I don’t mind authors using AI tools for information like bios and summaries. But an author should be careful to keep AI out of their storytelling so as not to lose their voice.
