Danissa Macaraig asked Kendare Blake:

When you took Creative Writing in college, did your parents supported you in it, like, did they support the idea of you being a writer and not push you to take on other more complicated major?

Kendare Blake Point of fact, I took Creative Writing in grad school, by which time my parents had pretty much stopped caring. As an undergrad, I studied to become a stock analyst, because I didn't think I could earn a comfortable living off of writing. My parents agreed. But, as it happened I hated the jobs I got after college and moved back in with them anyway.

I'm going to make an ass out of U and Me by assuming you are thinking of studying writing and getting pushback from the rents. By "rents" I mean parents. You have to do what's right for you, but I will say that you don't have to study just one thing. Actually, it's nice to be educated in as many things as possible. Even now, I might go to culinary school someday to learn how to brown properly.

Amanda asked Kendare Blake:

I loved the Anna duology, and I'm currently reading Antigoddess, which is a blast! I took Anna #3 for granted and I was so excited for it. You can imagine the amount of tears after I found out that the ending of Girl of Nightmares was it. I think we just all wish our favorite characters to have each other and a long life together. So thank you for the moments of joy (and tears) ♥

Hi, Ms. Blake! What are some of your keys/tools to writing good, spine-chilling horror without the sentences getting too clipped? (I'm a young author and I'd like to apply my pen to the horror genre.) Also, what is your favorite book? Thanks!
