Isabelle G. : Interview & FAQ

What made you want to become a writer?

My love for writing began in middle school; I always worked meticulously, even if I couldn't identify the specific cause. I wrote short stories, fun creative essays, ect and I really enjoyed them. Later on in life, when I was about 20 years old in my first spring semester of college, I realized I didn't like what I was doing, it felt boring and I experienced burnout. I thought to myself, 'What would happen if I just tried' and that is when I started some of my works, and my fingers flew on the keyboard of blank pages. 

What is your favorite part of being a writer?

Writing was a new way for me to show my creativity, the details I added, the pain, and to help me cope through things. It then clicked: this is what I wanted to really do, I wanted to create stories and works that people would love to read, I wanted to be like so many talented authors that have published their stories. I had a new dream, a goal, and even though it took me many tries; I finally got the courage to make my dreams come true.

There have been many books that have inspired me, in younger years it was the Dork Diaries series, Harry Potter, and the Twilight series.

What inspired you? Tv shows, cartoons, anime, or movies? For your book(s).

A dream collab for me would be to have one of my stories adapted into a Tim Burton movie, or an anime done by Funimation or even a Kdrama.

Does your culture/heritage influence any of your writing?

My personal culture has no influence on the way I write, however other cultures do that i have learned and grown to love as well as aspects of religion and my own personal beliefs of a person that is very spiritual. 

Fun fact: I was a theater kid in middle school, and I played the flute middle throughout my years of highschool, to this day I can still read some music, and I love to sing in the shower.
