My personal motto:
“Trust your gut.“
10 statements
- A typical work day begins with… bringing my pups, Lola (Shih-Tzu) & Kona (Pekingese) ‘to work’ with me, which pretty much means they go across the hallway to sleep, get treats and watch Netflix all day.
- I lose track of time… when I’m writing.
- I have always… put responsibilities before fun.
- I have never… been a risk taker.
- Home means to me… a place where anything goes.
- I am inspired by… kindness.
- I would like to meet… Stephen King. He’s brilliant and terrifying, two traits I admire in an author.
- My worst character trait… I’m a workaholic with unrealistic expectations of myself, ones I’ll never meet.
- My best character trait… my passion.
- The best advice I was given… “Take time to stop and smell the roses because life’s too short.”
