Interview:
Writing:
1. What inspired you to first write this story?
DOE: This story is one that I have had in my head for quite a long time now, No one thing inspired it, it was a combination of several real life events that caused me to want to write it.
2. How did you come up with your title?
DOE: Bella and Edward have to go through very dark times, especially Edward, to finally find their happiness. I saw this in my head as the sun shining through the clouds, which brought on the title From the Darkness Comes Light.
3. Do you have a specific writing style?
DOE: No not really, I write when it comes to me, I don't like to force it, if I do then it seems very unnatural to me, which in turn makes my writing appear flawed. I never write an outline or anything like that because I would never follow it anyway lol so what's the point.
4. How do you find time to write?
DOE: It's not easy but I usually use the time I have when the kids are in school or late at night when everyone is sleeping.
5. Do you have any interesting writing quirks or habits to get you in the mood?
DOE: Sometimes music helps to get me in the mood, but most of the time, I just sit back and let the characters speak to me, if they are in a chatty mood then I get a lot of writing done if not well then I just wait till their ready to talk :)
6. What do you like to do when you are not writing?
DOE: READ, READ, READ...and blog and bug my friends to death lol
7. What do you think makes a good story?
DOE: That's easy Emotional depth, to me it means everything. If you can't make your readers feel your characters or connect with them in anyway then what's the point of writing the story?
8. Do you have a writing team (i.e. betas, proofreaders, pre-readers, etc.)? If so, how do they assist you with your work?
DOE: Hmmmm....let me think. LOL. Yes my beta, which is you SparklingWand, is everything to me. I have said before, I think you live inside my head because you are able to catch the exact emotion I am looking for even when I can't grasp it myself. I think it is so important when you have a connection like that with your writing team. My proof reader TwiMoments is the same way. Where I leave off she begins. LOL. I thank God for you both every day.
9. Is there anyone who has been an encouragement to you during your writing process?
DOE: My mother has been my biggest encouragement. She had faith in me and my writing ability from the beginning and has always encouraged me to go through with it. Also, my very close friends, you know who you are, pushed me and encouraged me to finally tell this story and for that I will always be grateful.
10. Are there any fanfiction authors that have been an inspiration to you? If so, who are they and why?
DOE: Wow...that's a hard one there are so many but I'll just go with my TOP two.
1. Sebastien Robichaud - UoEM- is an amazing story told by and amazing writer. The depth of the emotion in the story and the story line it's self have kept me so entranced for so long I don't know what I'll do now that it is ending. :( I can only dream that one day I will have the ability to tell a story the way this author does.
2. InstantKarmaGirl -Just Wait- This story from the beginning, was incredible the emotional rollercoaster ride she is able to take you on is breathtaking I would give anything to be able to bring that kind of depth to my characters.
11. Are there any professional authors that have been an inspiration to you? If so, who are they and why?
DOE: Well obviously Stephenie Meyer has been a great influence for me and my writing, from the moment I read Twilight my entire world changed that is what writing is about for me to be able to effect so many people on so many different levels the way that some of the great authors do is what we all aspire as authors I think.
12. Is there a specific message you want your readers to obtain from your story?
DOE: Yes, NEVER give up no matter how tough things appear to be at the moment always KNOW there is hope for a better tomorrow...sounds cheesy I know but it is a complete belief of mine that there is a reason for everything that happens in our lives.
13. What do you think is the hardest part about writing your story?
DOE: Having faith in myself as a writer, it is what kept me from sharing anything up until now and continues to be a great struggle for me on a daily basis, thank God there are others who have had faith in me cause without them my dream of writing would not have ever come true.
14. Are there any best practices you would like to share?
DOE: Just never be afraid (like me) to share a story if you have one to tell, no matter what anyone else thinks of it or you, to me it's not about the reviews or the recognition although I won't lie when those good reviews start flying in it gives you a better high then any drug ever could...to me it's about sharing a part of me good or bad with the reader.
15. What suggestions or words of advice would you give to upcoming writers?
DOE: Never let anyone tell you that you aren't good enough, NEVER allow that. Stand up for what your writing and NEVER change your writing to suit anyone else!
