What 3 things do you need in order to write?

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
Everywhere except Mexico and the Middle East. I’d love to travel around the world and see historical places, experience different cultures, try different foods, etc. If only I could…
When did you decide you wanted to be a writer?
Well, I’ve always enjoyed writing. When I was about twenty-two, I wrote a short novella but didn’t do anything with it. I got pregnant the next year and writing no longer was a thought in my head. Around 2008, I realized I had plenty of time on my hands. I loved to read and just thought…hey, I should seriously try to write something. So I did.
