1. What is your writing passion?
** A writing passion is the enthusiastic creative drive that stirs from within oneself that is just itching to be shared with others using your inner voice words.
** My passion is finding ways to show children God's love for them in story form.
2. How do you develop your own voice and brand?
** A writing voice is the essence and quality of the narration regardless of whether it is told in the first or third person or whether it belongs to the narrator or the character. Our writing voice is influenced by tone, which sets the atmosphere of the story.
** To me my own voice is writing from where I am, not where I hope to be. I write stories best from the first person point of view. I discovered this during my childhood. It was easier for me to keep the attention of my childhood friends and siblings by speaking as if I was the main character. I continued this practice in telling stories to my children while they were growing up and now to my grandchildren.
** Branding or brand association is a method used to join together a product such as a book or a social interest, or a genre with the writer that is easy to remember. It can come in various forms such as a trademark or a symbol.
** My brand is in the form of a puppy dog with a balloon tied to its tail to symbolize grief and loss and the genre of children's fiction. It was developed from the illustrator’s interpretation of my story, Flying Hugs and Kisses.
3. What phrase would you use to describe your brand?
** The phrase that stirs within me to describe my brand is "Planting seeds of encouraging words in the heart of a child." I have also used my book title, Flying Hugs and Kisses.
