Sam Reed is a born and bred southern girl who grew up reading Toni Morrison, Archie Comics, Christopher Pike, Octavia Butler, Dean Koontz, and Stephen King. When she’s not thinking of what to write, she is napping or eating, going to church, wishing she could sing, watching A Different World reruns, sitting in the sun—or reading a book.

I haven't had a life filled with mystery, which I guess when you think about it is a good thing, lol. But, as a child, I was sick for a while, apparently it was pretty serious, evaded a definitive diagnosis, and then went away on it's own. I think it might be interesting to explore what that mystery illness was, and how it may have affected my life moving forward. (less)

That seems like easy throw-away advice, but it’s the truth. Just be sit down and write. Commit to it like you would anything else. You’ll see things that say write everyday, and that’s good advice, because as a concept, being a writer is romantic and artsy but that makes it easy to forget that it is also a job; one that requires some dedication and routine. You must write to be an author, you must write enough words to make a book, and most likely you’ll have to be able to do that over and over again. That said, I don’t write everyday, sometimes I can’t, the words just won’t come, and so I don’t beat myself up about that. I take it as a day of inspiration, I look around me, I pay attention, I watch people, I think things out. Then when I get back in front of the page, that bank of ‘prompts’ will help the words come…and when they do, it’s usually a long winded tumble of things that need to be edited and rearranged and completely reworked and that’s ok, the most important thing is to just get it out - get the words out, then as you start to work with them and mold them into a story, they’ll work with you, it’ll be a partnership and that’s when the magic happens.

“I'm a pessimist if I'm not careful, a feminist, a Black,...an oil-and-water combination of ambition, laziness, insecurity, certainty, and drive.”
