FOO: What is the most fascinating thing about Writing?

FOO: Do you have writing Mentors?

TO: Not exactly. However, Francine Rivers produces seeming guidelines for me.

FOO: How does it feel being a first time Author? ( Share an experience or more)

TO: It feels good. It challenges you to believe you can birth great things. It makes you feel like a creator; like your story didn’t exist until you birthed it.

FOO: Do you think Writers should depend on the profits of their writing alone?(What's your opinion on Writer's having a side hustle?)
