Lilly K. Cee
I've been writing ever since elementary school. We were given an assignment in class to create our own world, and I was hooked.
In high school, I did share my stories with an author. Her feedback was that I have natural talent, but I should write about what I know. So I did. I changed the themes and learned how to research. I write contemporary (I had been writing more in the historical genre). I draw from experience, but my characters provide their own.
Something as simple as a song lyric, a look from a stranger, or a swerve of a vehicle in traffic can set off an avalanche of ideas. I'm a born daydreamer...
