There's a misconception that emotions are expressed differently depending on gender. It's essential to portray a range of emotions authentically rather than conforming to expectations of how "men" or "women" should act or feel.
Every writer aspires to become a bestseller, and I’m no exception. My books often reflect different pieces of who I am, weaving my experiences and emotions into the stories. Each character might carry a fragment of my personality, struggles, or triumphs, making the writing process not just a task, but a deeply personal journey. This connection to my work fuels my passion and keeps me motivated on the path to success.
My writing schedule is pretty fluid—I get lost in the process and often don’t pay much attention to the clock. I can easily forget to eat or take breaks! Luckily, my mom and husband keep an eye on me and make sure I stay on track. They’re my support system. It's a bit chaotic, but their support makes all the difference!

The most challenging part of my artistic process is accepting my characters as they are and releasing the fear of how they’ll be perceived by the public. It’s tough to put a piece of myself into my work and then step back, wondering if others will understand or connect with my vision. Allowing my characters to be fully authentic, flaws and all, often feels vulnerable. But embracing that vulnerability is essential for creating relatable and genuine stories.
Writing can indeed be emotionally draining and stressful, but my biggest tip for aspiring writers is this: don’t be afraid to lose yourself in your work. Forget about the world around you and let your thoughts and emotions flow onto the page. Just write what’s in your mind and soul without worrying about perfection. Once you have that draft—your diamond in the rough—take a step back, enjoy a cup of coffee, and watch as your characters and story come to life on those white pages. Trust the process, and remember, every great story starts with just letting it all out!
