Growing up I loved creative
writing in school. My stories would be about witches, princesses, pirates and
more. When a friend of mine said she was teaching how to become an author, I
jumped at the chance.
How and where do you write? Do you prefer a lap top or do you prefer writing
freehand?
I mostly write at home. I
write mostly on a laptop because I can type faster. However I have multiple
notebooks I use to brainstorm or flush out scenes when I'm not at home.
What's your favorite part
about writing? Your least favorite part about writing?
Favorite: the spark of
inspiration. That moment when the concept of a story takes form.
Least favorite: revising.
It's necessary but there comes a point where I don't want to look at my story
anymore.
How do you come up with
your characters? Why would readers want to get to know them?
The characters in True Sight,
found in Secrets and Doors, were created in response to the idea of a magical
objects creation. Who would make the item, what would they go through, and why.
I hope readers will find the characters aren't always what they seem. What you
see as the right thing can be deceiving.

What types of marketing do
you do to promote your writing?
I'll be honest, I'm new to
marketing my writing. I prefer talking to people about books. However you can
find me on my blog: https://jessicaparkerstories.wordpress.com/
How do you schedule your
writing time? When do you write? Right now I write late at night. This way if
I'm on a roll, there are less interruptions.
What are you currently
working on? Do you have a new book out? I'm working on the sequel to True
Sight.
Do you have a project on the
back burner? Tell me about it.
I have an epic fantasy novel
on hold. I need to refine my skills to do this story justice.
What would you tell a
beginning writer who wants to publish but doesn't believe he/she has enough
talent?
No one can tell a story the
way you can. Learn your options for publication and find what is best for you
and your story. Then be willing to go to work.
