STORIZEN INTERVIEW
Can you describe what that writing process is like for you?
Writing, to me, is a very meditative experience. Regardless of how my day might have been, regardless of what stress and strife life may toss at me, the moment I sit at my desk, I feel calm. I feel happy. I feel like I’ m home with words. I sometimes seek sanctuary in my writing space and almost relish the ability that it gives me to shut out the world.
Who are your favorite authors and books?
W. Somerset Maugham, P. G Wodehouse, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Jeanette Winterson, Zadie Smith, Graham Greene, Margaret Atwood, OrhanPamuk, Ibsen, Chekov, Brecht, Sartre … the list is very long. I am a voracious reader and when I read, the writer in me doesn’ t exist. I am just the reader, consuming the words and living in the world the author has painted for me.

What are your favorite pass time activities and hobbies?
My favorite pastime is playing with my dogs and cats. I am a great animal lover and even a little homeless puppy that I encounter on the street will draw me more than people or parties would. Spending time with them, inhaling their energy just replenishes my soul.
My hobbies are fashion, art and design. I love
