Are you a planner, a pantser, or a bit of both?
I would say... a little bit of both. I like making outlines. I could have the perfect plot, setting, even the characters in my mind and how they are going to progress, but once I begin, if other floating ideas decide to cross paths with my writing, it may change the whole picture. This happened a lot when I was writing Beautifully Burned, and I ' m glad it did, because the story became more exciting and intriguing. I think that was proven when I read some reviews coming from thereaders.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
Before Beautifully Burned, I worked on a novel called Frustrated by the Stars. When I started to write my novel, there was this drive that I couldn ' t control. All I know is that, I had ideas that needed to come out no matter what. When you ' re doing something out of love, you don ' t just know that you ' re walking towards the right direction... you know that you are actually doing something right.

I ' m an 80 % daydreamer. When I ' m not writing, you ' ll find me painting, piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, or playing the piano, violin, or guitar. My father is an engineer, while my mom helps with our business. I have two sisters who are both in the medical field, while I chose to pursue Travel and Tourism Management. We all have itchy feet, so we travel whenever we can. Traveling alone always gets a green light from me, and that is what drew me to travel to New York on my own. The interesting part, I would say, is that New York was the main reason I was able to finish a novel. NYC was like an eye-opener for me.
