I am currently reading your arc of "Ark" and I don't see it listed here on goodreads to rate and review it. Am I blind? ;)
Lucy Snow nope! it's not on amazon or goodreads yet! I will have a link sent out to the arc list in a couple days.

I hope you enjoy the book! I had a lot of fun writing scifi.

How did you start writing? I mean did you just sit down and decide this what you wanted to do? I would like to write a book, I have started but I'm not sure if there are certain rules or if I should just keep it to myself and not even go beyond the few pages I've done.
Lucy Snow Thank you for the wonderful question, Heather!

I started because I love romance novels and I wanted to see if I could write one myself. The idea of starting from a blank screen and ending up with a fully realized story is very, very appealing to me.

As for the actual process of writing, I highly (HIGHLY!) recommend outlining your story before hand, as detailed as possible. I have the beginnings of 6 other novels, some with up to 20,000 words written, that I am scared to work on again, because I just started writing and didn't outline first, and now I don't know where the story is going!

On the other hand, with Redeemed, I outlined every chapter before I started writing. With Escape, I went even further - I outlined each chapter and then described the specific order in which things would happen, for the entire book, before I wrote the first word.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Lucy Snow Not well enough! I try to write just a few words at first, then increase as I get more into the rhythm. The first 100 words each day are the toughest...until the next 200.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Lucy Snow The stories I write come out in a way only I can tell them. Another writer could take the same outline and they would come up with a different book.
