Emily Minton (co-writing with Dawn Martens) ~ Get to know you interview
- When did you first realize
you wanted to be a writer? When I
was a junior in highschool. My
teacher made us all write a short story.
Everyone complained about the assignment, but I had a freaking
blast.
- How long does it take you to
write a book? Dawn and I have been
working on Whiskey Lullaby for three weeks, and we are almost done. Now, my solo book will take much longer. I will guesstimate three months.
- What is your work schedule
like when you're writing? I do not have a set schedule. I write when the mood strikes. In fact, a lot of my best is written
during the middle of the night.
- What would you say is your
interesting writing quirk? Names!!
I have such a hard time picking character names. I pick one then switch it. Then, I end up switching it back.
- How do you plan to publish?
(self or publisher) I’m and indie girl!
- Where do you get your
information or ideas for your books? They just come to me. If I need something specific (like a
medical term), I google it.
- When did you write your
first book and how old were you? I am writing my first book now, and I am
38.
- What do you like to do when
you're not writing? Spend time with
my kids and SLEEP!!
- What does your family think
of your writing? They are proud of me, but they get jealous of the time I
spend writing. It is hard to
balance a family life and writing.
- What was one of the most
surprising things you learned in creating your books? I was really
surprised at how quickly new idea form in my brain. Who knew I was so creative?
- How many books have you
written? Which is your favorite? Right now, I am working on Whiskey
Lullaby and Windows. They are just like my kids. I love them both equally.
- Do you have any suggestions
to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they? Just do it!
- Do you hear from your
readers much? What kinds of things do they say? I don’t have readers yet,
but I have heard from some people wanting to read my books. They all seem really excited!
- Do you like to create books
for adults? Yes! I write would I
like to read, and I read adult books.
- What do you think makes a
good story? A strong plot, an alpha
male, and a sweet heroine!
- As a child, what did you
want to do when you grew up? A
mommy!
