I am a member of the virtual book club for bloggers, From Left to Write. \u00a0Many of the ladies in the book club are not only avid readers and book lovers, but also authors. Karen of Time Crafted<\/a> invited some of us FL2W members to share our writing process in a blog tour. \u00a0So here goes…<\/p>\n

Much of my writing when I was a little kid came from being bored. \u00a0We lived in the middle of nowhere (sort of), and after I got tired of running around outside (by myself), I would get some paper and pencil and write. I would come up with all kinds of stories – mostly about the best friend that I wish I had, and what trouble we would get into (feel free to weep for little Eva).<\/p>\n

Now? Man – I write to stay sane. \u00a0I certainly have enough to do with the kids, husband, homeschool, lessons of all sorts, and the business – so I’m not bored – but instead of talking to myself (exclusively – I mean I still talk to myself), I write. Thanks to the Internet, I actually have plenty of folks to chat with… other than myself.<\/p>\n

Here are the questions that we are answering on the blog tour…<\/p>\n

1. What am I working on?<\/strong> I think a better question for me to answer might be, ‘What am I NOT working on?’ – the list is SO long. \u00a0I am working on getting the follow up to Anancy’s Family Reunion to print, and several e-books for SocaMom.com. \u00a0I keep a project (or 12) in the works. \u00a0When I don’t have something on deck? I panic.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?<\/strong> My first book is Anancy’s Family Reunion. \u00a0It is different because it is meant to be read aloud in a family setting. \u00a0It can be read independently by kids and adults, but I wanted it to be something that could prompt families to turn off the TV, put away the electronics, and sit down together and share a story. My book is positioned as a children’s book, but unlike most children’s books, it can be read aloud and enjoyed by adults and children at the same time.<\/p>\n

3. Why do I write what I do?<\/strong> It is a natural extension of what I do every day on the blog, helping parents keep their kids connected to Caribbean culture. Anancy is a fantastic traditional character, and I hope my stories help parents to introduce their children to the storytelling aspect of Caribbean culture.<\/p>\n

4. How does your writing process work? <\/strong>It isn’t THAT complicated really. \u00a0I get an idea, and I drop everything, pull over the car, jump out of the shower, quit whatever I am doing – and write it down. \u00a0Sometimes I do an outline if I have the time, but if it is a fully finished idea, I’ll try my best to get as much on paper as possible…. I write until my hand cramps up, then I stop – that gives me time to think – once the cramp eases up, I write some more. \u00a0When I’m done I’ll read it to a few trusted folks, then make revisions. What I think makes sense doesn’t always, so I try to have someone else check it out too.<\/p>\n

There are SO many Caribbean authors that you can check out, but I recommend that you check out the ladies that I did the #CaribbeanMomsWrite Google Hangout with…<\/p>\n
