Hello! Today with us we have Jet Boston (reader) and Renee Lake (author)! *Applause*
Jet Boston: What inspired you to become a writer?
Renee Lake: I don’t know. I have always written, even since I was small. Plays for my sisters, one pages stories about sentient donuts and fan fiction before I was even aware of what that was.
Jet Boston: Do you have any rituals or routines that you follow when writing?
Renee Lake: I have music play lists and I find a great notebook to start plotting with.
Jet Boston: Do you outline your stories before writing, or do you prefer to let the story unfold as you write?
Renee Lake: I start as a panster and just write, about five chapters in I begin to plot.
Jet Boston: Do you have a favorite character that you’ve written? If so, why?
Renee Lake: Persephone from The Infested. Because she’s strong, creepy and kind.
Jet Boston: What do you enjoy most about being a writer?
Renee Lake: I love creating characters, worlds and monsters. I love getting the things out of my head and onto the page.
Jet Boston: What do you hope readers will take away from your books?
Renee Lake: How much time and effort the author put into it, and something personal, something that they can hold to their chest and take away from my words.
Jet Boston: What advice would you give to authors who are considering self-publishing?
Renee Lake: If you can afford it, hire an editor. I wish I’d been able to with my first books. Make sure you have beta readers and keep writing. Don’t stop and dont give up. Also- don’t read reviews.
Thank you for both for participating in Support An Author event!!!
