How long have you been writing? Hmm, about nine or ten years. I was really into reading at the time and I began to think of what could improve an authors' perspective. Of course, at the time this was the wrong way to think, because everyone has their own style of writing. As I began writing, I learnt this and then began to look over my own stories to see what I was missing.
What's your favorite kind of story to write? Well, I always put a varied type of theme into it. I like to write emotional tales, with a twist of horror. I try my best to make the characters or those involved to seem as real as possible, by trying to understand what I'd act like if I was in that same situation. I try to vary the reaction so that they aren't replica characters of myself, but characters who have their own mind, their own emotions, their own way of dealing with a situation and their own outlook.
What's your favorite kind of story to read? I'll read anything really, since anything interests me, but my favourite type of book would be those set in an old type, or a horror. I find nothing more compelling then a deep horror or a mystery.
Where do you get most of your inspiration? Usually just from sitting around and thinking. Sometimes I get inspiration from an interesting dream I may have experienced, but usually I just sit around and think until something comes to me, so I don't really get inspiration from anywhere apart from my mind. I suppose you could say SIlent Hill inspires some things I write, though.
How long does it take you to formulate ideas, and where do you get most of your ideas? It takes me a short while to grab ideas. They come from my own mind. I have a very vivid imagination, so it's easy to get ideas for my novels.
When do you get your best ideas? Anytime, really. I'll just be sitting here and I'll think of something. If I feel it's good enough for one of my novels, I'll add it in.
I also use music to help me concentrate. Upbeat songs for an upbeat mood, but I usually put on something depressing, since most of my books are based solely on a depressing theme.
