The Lovely Sydney Logan! |
1.
Why do you write?
Honestly,
because I love it. I love creating
realistic, romantic stories that tug at heart strings.
2.
Do you have a writing routine/schedule?
My only true routine is that the noise has to
be minimal. I love music, but I can’t
listen to anything with lyrics when I’m writing. I can listen to instrumental music, although I
have to be careful with that, too, because it can really influence my
writing. I’ve never been good at writing
on a schedule (which is probably why my first attempt at NaNoWriMo was a
failure lol). The only real schedule I
have is that I write mostly on the weekends.
3.
What’s your favorite part of the creative
process?
Editing is becoming one of my favorite parts. At that point, the story is finished. It’s
just a matter of tweaking and fine-tuning.
It helps that I have an incredible editor who encourages me and wants
nothing more than for my story to be successful.
4.
What is your book that you are promoting about?
Lessons
Learned is about a high school teacher
named Sarah Bray. In the prologue, she
witnesses a school shooting. This
traumatizes her and sends her running back to her hometown of Sycamore Falls.
It is a small, tight-knit, conservative (fictional) community in the mountains
of Tennessee. She reconnects with old
friends and makes a new one, in the form of Lucas Miller. He has just transferred to Sycamore Falls
from a school in NYC. They begin
teaching at Sarah’s old high school, and over time, their friendship turns into
love. One of Sarah’s students becomes a
victim of bullying, and she finds herself helping him face his demons, as well
as some of her own.
5.
Is there anything that you are working on
currently that we can be expecting?
I am currently editing my second novel, Mountain Charm. It is scheduled to be
released in late summer/early fall.
