Setting can be something that is a major player in a scene, something that makes the mood leap from the page. But if an author doesn't handle it right, it falls flat or seems overdone. It is a challenge getting it "just right".

I do love wearing heels but my feet can't be in them all day long. I want to have fun and dance so I need to be comfortable.

The best part of being a pro is being able to travel around the world. I have met so many incredible people and experienced different cultures all through sport.

For me, setting and description is a challenge. I always want to get that part just right, and sometimes the words won't work.

I love meeting new people; I think everyone has a story to tell. We should all listen sometimes.

Dialogue saves me. I love writing the conversations between my paper people. For some reason, that is the easiest thing for me. It's like I am a transcriptionist for the voices in my head. I can hear them talking (mentally) and have a gift for getting it on the page.

I hope that in 5 years from now I'll be working and doing what makes me happy. Whatever that may be.
