The Interview - Kitty Arceneaux
What inspired you to start writing?
I started writing at the age of 8. I was writing short stories and poems. I believe it was because of my creativity and big imagination.
Do you write by hand or use a computer?
I might start off with handwritten notes, but eventually I transfer to computer.
What’s your writing kryptonite (biggest distraction)?
If I sit near a window, I tend to daydream and forget that I'm writing.
Which book of yours was the most difficult to write, and why?
Ruth Ready because its a book about healthy relationships. It was challenging because that's a complex subject.
Do you prefer writing standalone books or series?
So far I've only written stand alone books, but series are definitely in my future.
What do you do when you get stuck on a particular scene?
I usually walk away and do a breathing exercise. Sometimes I grab a snack and watch TV
What’s your favorite writing snack or drink?
I love matcha, so a good matcha by my side is just what I need.
What’s the one thing you hope readers remember about your books?
Besides being entertaining, how encouraging they are for the readers.
How do you come up with your book titles?
I usually play around with different titles in my head before I commit to a title. I also research to make sure the title hasn't already been used.
How do you celebrate small writing milestones?
After a quick happy dance, I might grab a bowl of ice cream.
