From: Pia, Erwin Ma'am I prepared some questions for you about your stories that you write like: 1.Is being a writer a gift or a curse? 2.Who are your favorite authors? 3.Do you remember the first story you ever read,and the impact it had on you? 4.Can you tell me about your writing process and the way you brainstorm story ideas. I will be happy if you can answer some of my questions...

Rhodora M. Fitzgerald Hi Erwin,
I'd be happy to answer your questions!
1)I've thought of writing as a curse. It's definitely a gift!
2)Favorite authors. Wow, there are so many good authors. I think one of my favorites is C.L Lewis. The Chronicles of Narnia were the inspiration behind my first children's book, Willow Crossing! J.K. Rowling is also a favorite. The Harry Potter series is a big favorite of mine.
3)The first stories I remember reading were from a school book in the first grade. The only impact I remember at such a young age was that it kept me wanting the read. The stories were interesting, and I loved to read.
4)My writing process, hmmm... Well, when I get an idea I just start writing, and I write until I come to a point where I'm not sure what comes next. Then I spend time thinking about it while doing other things, making notes as I go until I can sit back down and write some more. The best way to describe the brainstorming process is... I do a lot of daydreaming! lol

I hope I gave the answers you were looking for!
Rhodora
