A Brief Chat With Cindy

 

How long does it take you to write a book?

Generally six to eight months if I stay on a schedule.

 

How/why did you choose the genre you write in?

I love reading middle grades and young adult fantasy. 

 

What was the hardest part of writing your book?

The first draft was much longer.  By the time my publisher read the manuscript, many scenes had been cut.  She then asked if I could add more to the story, so I had to edit those scenes back in.  That was the most difficult part, dovetailing all the pieces back together.

  1. Sounds like a great book Demetria. It’s so wonderful when we see our friends (especially our writing friends) succeed isn’t it?

    I’ll have to put this on my daughter’s (and my) summer reading list.

  2. Congrats on your debut novel, Cindy! You must be very excited! It’s a good thing you held onto the pieces of the novel you’d trimmed. 🙂 I make a practice of doing the same…just in case.

    It’s so wonderful to be part of a nurturing critique group. Glad you ladies have found that in the Triad. I’ve been lucky enough to find a similar group here in the Triangle.

  3. Oh this book sounds fantastic. I’m so impressed by the 6-8 month time frame. And like Reese said, good idea to hold on to the bits n’ pieces of novels. Hmmm I’ll have to remember that tip.

  4. Julie, I’m surprised you don’t hold on to bits n’ pieces. I hold on to them out of fear. I don’t want to be caught needing them later and not having them.

    Also, I’m impressed by Cindy’s 6-8 month timeframe, too. She’s good at cranking stuff out when she sets her mind to it.
