1. What is the thing you struggle with the most while writing? And how do
you defeat it?
Not being "in the mood." It's rare that I jump into writing
with enthusiasm and the words flow effortlessly. Sometimes it's agony to get
things moving. But if I waited for those rare moments, nothing would ever get
done. I have to set deadlines for myself and then look forward to a reward of
some type for getting the work done. Yes, I'm like a puppy that way. A really
cute one.
2. Which of your personality traits did you write into you characters?
(Deliberately or accidentally)
Hmm. Well, these were definitely accidental. Treena is a perfectionist,
a girl with a checklist, prioritized and color-coded. I'm totally that way too.
But there's a little of me in Vance as well. He finds it hard to see past his
mistakes in the past and beats himself up over it. I'm my worst critic, and
shutting off that inner voice is really hard.

"Your Rating is wrong," he said. "Their precious Rating
system says absolutely nothing about you and what you're capable
of."
"So far, everything I've done has proven my number absolutely
correct."
"Treena."
His tone softened. "I don't know why that happened to you. But I do know
one thing." He stopped on the step below me, and I whirled to face him. We
were the same height now, and his expression was fierce. "You are the most
loyal, most determined, and most fascinating girl I've ever met. No number
could ever describe you."
