Hi Coco! I was wondering how you managed to juggle writing a book at the age of 15 and doing music at the same time? I would love to write a book and go to a school like Yale, I just don't know how to get started. I was wondering if you have a writing process? Thank you so much!

Coco Ma Hi there! ^_^ That's so wonderful, you should definitely just go for it! Try not to worry about achieving the end result but enjoy the process of practicing your craft. Music has always been an enormous inspiration for my writing, but you're right, it was sometimes tough to balance my hours at both the piano and computer keyboard! Sometimes I had a piece of paper next to the piano and if I had ideas in the middle of practicing, I'd write them down. I also typed on my phone while on my way to school! But nowadays the best way for me to work on my books is to sit down at the end of a long day, turn on some music (I always listen to it while I write), and (try to) get in the zone. Good luck!
