ALEXANDRA WARREN AUTHOR GUEST POST
“My Mind as an Author” by Alexandra Warren
Imagine being in a public place and
the only thing you can think about is how many plot bunnies for future novels
you see around you. That’s exactly how my mind works now that I’ve taken on the
wonderful world of Romancelandia.
Everyone and everything – except for
my closest friends and family… maybe
– has the possibility of showing up in one of my books mainly because of how
easily inspired I am by human interactions at the most basic level. Whether
it’s a father playing with his son, strangers meeting for the first time in an
airport, a couple sharing coffee on a date, someone FaceTiming with a loved one
on the beach; my mind is constantly registering tidbits from everything going
on around me so that I can create a fictional reality later.
I enjoy being able to make my words
come alive, to make my characters come alive in a way that readers connect with
them on a personal level. I enjoy making readers feel what my characters feel,
laugh with my characters, cry with my characters, be mad with my characters
depending on the situation. And for me, that’s what being an author is all
about.
So even though my mind is constantly
in go-mode, observing, and saving, and taking in my surroundings, I truthfully
wouldn’t have it any other way.
