Interview with:Elle Wilson [ellewilson98]
WRITING
 | What did you first read? How did you begin to write? Who were the first to read what you wrote? I first began to write in middle school. I got finished my work early and instead of disrupting the class (like I usually would by talking to my friends) I started writing a play. And then I let a couple of my classmates read the pages and they started asking me, what was going to happen next. So, I kept writing. |
| What is your favorite genre? Can you provide a link to a site where we can read some of your work or learn something about it? My favorite genre is the rom/com. Although most stories from this genre tend to be formulaic and predictable, I love the journey of getting there. Here's my dating blog: http://datinglessonslearned.blogspot.com/ |
| What type of reading inspires you to write? Non-fiction |
| What well known writers do you admire most? Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, Saul Williams, Shakespeare, August Wilson, Lorraine Hansbery, Hemingway |
| Are you equally good at telling stories orally? It depends on how much pressure I'm under to tell it quickly. I tend to be longwinded... |
| Is writing a form of personal therapy? Are internal conflicts a creative force? Absolutely. I am faithful to my journal. It keeps me sane. Internal and external conflicts are welcome in my pages. |
| Does reader feed-back help you? Yes - I love to know what people responded to in what I write. |
| What discipline do you impose on yourself regarding schedules, goals, etc.? Still working on the discipline. |
| What are you working on now? I'm working on a screenplay and a pilot, in addition to my monthly blog. |
| What do you recommend I do with all those things I wrote years ago but have never been able to bring myself to show anyone? A- finish them. B - get feedback. |
