The 411:
E.G. is a young writer who has many crazy and interesting plots and lives living inside her head that she cannot wait to bring to life.
I get my ideas from both real life experiences and inspirations and from dreams and fantasies. I love imagining the "what ifs" and sometimes these ideas grow into stories on their own. I also, love people watching and I build characters off of the personalities that I have seen and interacted with.
What is your writing process?


My advice for young writers would be to read. Read books of different genres to get a feel for how the author choose to present their work. The best thing I ever did was read books on how to write and then try to see how other authors incorporated these principals in their own work. Eventually you will find your own style that works for you. Additionally, not everyone will like what you write and that's okay. If you try to please everyone your story won't be yours anymore. Trust yourself.
What is the most difficult thing about writing the opposite sex?
As an bisexual, and androgenous person I think my perception of the opposite sex may be different than others. I kinda have picked up on the differences that I have noticed each gender has and sort of went with it. I also have a background in child psychology that I needed for my teaching degree so I do know the general milestones that children have mentally. My man did read my book and he felt that it was accurate so I did get a stamp of approval, lol.
Was this story partially non-fiction?
The only part of the story that was non-fictional was the MC's name (Anthony) and his age. My brother Anthony is currently eight. I also did word things the way my brother talks in this book. Everything else was fictional.
How do you select the names of your characters?
Like in this book, I kind of name characters after the people they remind me of. Other times, the name has a type of meaning (either literal, like Amora for a woman who is loving) or I looked around the room and see a name written down and gave it to the character, haha.
How long did it take you to write this book?
I wrote it over the course of two weeks. In total I think I spent 4 hours on it. I love writing so the words came easy and my first draft is nearly identical to the current story you read.
