It's my privilege to introduce writer, teacher, world traveler, Ami Blackwelder. Ami was kind enough to stop by and answer a few questions.
First of all, welcome Ami. Let me first ask ~ when did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
Elementary school. I wrote so many creative stories. It wasn't something that I thought -oh, I want to be a writer. It was more like I always had this inside of me. Like breathing, I didn't have a choice in the matter.
You mentioned that Thailand is like a second home. How often do you make it back there?
You mentioned that Thailand is like a second home. How often do you make it back there?
Once a year.
When in Thailand, how is life different for you?
So fun, polite, accepting, adventurous. I love Thailand for so many reasons. $10 massages, and great Thai food!
You're very prolific. How much time do you spend each day writing?
I like to get done 3 chapters a week. That is about a book every 3 months.
You also do a lot of promotion and marketing. How do you work a balance?
Well, I substitute three days a week and do online work two days a week, I write everyday I can and promote on the days I don't sub.
A lot of your marketing is on the internet. What do you prefer ~ online or traditional marketing?
Both. I do many online ads and promos and do many local activities.
