Why are Hawks and Hummingbirds best friends?
While working on the first Hawk and the Hummingbird book, I learned about the real relationship between the large hawk and its tiny friend, the hummingbird.
Just a little tidbit…
When I first decided to try my hand at writing a novel, I originally decided on just a sci-fi novel. But something happens when you start writing, your characters seem to become more real, more flesh and bone. You start to feel like you know each of them intimately and so this realization sort of changed my direction for the book.
Writing Prompts
Writing prompts are great. I particularly like the ones that give you three or so words and you must write a short story or vignette with them.
Reflections on Writing - Enjoy
It is my hope that you are writing out of passion and for enjoyment. Your passion for your work, for your characters and for your story will come through and be picked up by the reader. And there must be enjoyment in the endeavor.
Reflections on Writing - Research
You have to know what you are writing about. Sci-fi requires technical knowledge. Fantasy requires antiquity knowledge. Even a children’s book with animals requires a basic knowledge of the animals included in the story.
