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 .
