Q. What’s on your iPod or CD player?
A. Michael Bublé, Diana Krall, Sarah McLachlan, Jewel. Broadway show tunes, some opera.Q. Do you eat right, get plenty of exercise, sleep eight hours or do you sit in front of your computer and write all the time?
A. I do both, though I think I could get more exercise. I just signed up for Pilates classes and am trying to make myself go every week. Hard to do that when you’re writing and juggling a full time job!
Q. What do you read in the bathroom?
A. J.Crew catalogs, fashion mags.
Q. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
A. Successful career in writing, communications and/or marketing; married, kids and an MBA.
Q. Do you use an outline when you write or just let it flow?
A. I just let it flow. No use using an outline, since you’re going to make lots of changes anyway. For example, I never intended Elizabeth, one of the characters in my debut novel to be Asian. I just decided to let it happen because I thought that diversity would make it more interesting.
Thanks, Cynthia for being our first author interview (except me, of course!).
