Ch'kara SilverWolf - FAQ

What made you want to be a writer?

I have loved books for as long as I can remember and would lose myself in the fantasy worlds of elves, wizards, magik etc. I could tell a story at any given moment and so it seemed natural to begin writing them down.

When did you first begin to write?

I began to write at an early age but did not begin to work on it seriously until my 40's

How long does it take you to write a book?

Depends on the length of the book can take a year. Then I give it to my readers and after corrections send it to an Editor. It's very important to have it professionally edited.

How hard is it being a writer?

Every writer has a different method. I can be inspired by something I see or something that is said and it all starts to flow, the characters take shape and the story evolves.

What are your writing habits?

I write as soon as inspiration comes. I never go anywhere without a notebook. Usually after my husband goes to work I curl up with my notebook and write.

What did it feel like when you had your first book published?

Awesome, it was a long time coming so very exciting.

Do you have any advise for aspiring writers?

Read a lot in the genre you want to write in. Take note of things that inspire you. Listen, you never know when you will hear something that can become a story.

Would you recommend the life of an author?

Absolutely, what better life than to be able to live in a land of magik and wonder.
