Writing fiction has been my absolute favorite art form. Creating fantastical worlds, enrapturing plots, and a cast of colorful characters sparks so much joy in me. And the idea of readers devouring or connecting with my stories keeps my pen scribbling away.
Where do you find inspiration?Most my inspiration comes from real life experiences, music that evokes romantic or adventurous imagery, and my love for various kinds of folklore. Religious or dystopian themes also inspire certain scenes or characters.
What would you do with $25,000?The funds could definitely free me of my remaining student loan debt and help me keep my parents and I afloat for a little bit longer.
