Interview with the Imaginative Jina S. Bazzar

Fellow writer and blogger, Jina S. Bazzar, is the imaginative author of the Roxanne Fosch series.

She’s also a mother, a baker, a chocolate fiend, a coffee enthusiast, and an occasional poet.  A wanderer in this vast world, she’s another body with a passion for the written word. There is no boundary she can’t or won’t cross, and no limit she can’t push.  As Jina avows, her mind “is my passport, my thoughts my mode of transportation”.

A little background: Jina was born and raised in a small quiet town in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she experienced a happy and fulfilling childhood.  And like most writers, her love of books began at a young age . . . but, unlike most authors, she never aspired to become one.

Thankfully, she did, however . . . so let’s learn a little more about Jina the writer.

How do you get your creativity to flow (mine’s a few blasts of caffeine, LOL)? What motivates you to keep writing? 

I need that caffeine to simply function on a daily basis, so I’m not going to count it. My imagination runs wild when I’m doing household chores, baking, listening to loud music, or even exercising. Basically, I need to be doing something. As for what motivates me, I guess it’s the same thing that makes me reach for a book – the need to put things behind and go elsewhere. It could be escapism, but it’s also the pleasure of imagining and exploring endless possibilities. And when I have that first draft, messy as it is, the sense I’ve accomplished something is great. I love patting myself on the back
