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.
Future Story Ideas
As a writer, it is good to keep a log or a small book that you can write future story ideas in. Something that you can keep handy when you need to start a new 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 - 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.
