Welcome to my pendulum, dowsing your psyche. I am but, a Homie, in the deep south, who took up writing some years ago. Often I spin words without an atlas or thesaurus. So, tonight, I thought I would ask Sunny what makes her clock tick when writing. My gears are rusty, but my ink is thirsty.
Question 1:What motivates (inspires) you to write?
Sunny: There’s no exact answer to what inspires me. I feel as if everything does. The memories we experience every day– the people we talk with, the songs we sing, the books we read. Everything and anything. No matter how big or small they may be; causes inspiration within me. The pieces of ourselves we leave intertwined within our writing motivates me to continue on!
Question 2:Do you daydream when you write?
Sunny:I daydream before, during, and after writing. Imagination is a strong skill that must stay with you until the end.
Question 3:Do you write occasionally or often?
Sunny:I tend to write on the occasion unless feeling inspired, in which I can write until the flame of anticipation dies out.
Question 4:Do you makes notes on paper?
Sunny:I like to carry around pocket notebooks to jot down small inspirations and thoughts I gather on a day out.
Question 5:Do you suffer at times the stagnation of verses or paragraphs flowing?
Sunny:Don’t we all? Writing comes with its own journey of success and hardships. The important thing is to break through that wall which blocks our path, and continue forth.
Question 6:When writing do you feel the emotions of your words?
Sunny:I feel it so deeply in my bones.
Question 7:What suits you best, verse or prose?
Sunny:I enjoy both, but I would say verse is something that came as naturally as breathing.
Question 8:Do you inherit the words in your mind’s archive for future use?
Sunny:All the time! Not all of us can immediately write down our thoughts as soon as they form. The greatest part is looking back on those words and paraphrasing them into something even better than you originally remembered.
Question 9:At times, do you play the guinea pig and write something not of your usual?
Sunny:Sure. To write is to experiment– we are constantly crossing over new bridges.
Question 10:Do you consider a comment, a litmus test for your writing?
Sunny:I say it depends on the context of the creation and the comment. Typically speaking, if my heart is in it, and the viewers isn’t, then my heart won’t suddenly vanish away with their words. I do believe that comments do deem the quality of writing nonetheless.
Thank you, Sunny, for the interview and welcome to the community.
