Author: R.M. Archer

Hi, I'm Ariel. I'm a Christian teen writer. I write mostly fantasies, though I have tried to venture out beyond those borders. Unfortunately, I'm not particularly adventurous in that respect. I hope you'll enjoy it here and maybe learn something new about me, my writing, or just stuff in general. Have Fun!

Writers Like Us Interview 1: Grace

Writers Like Us Interview 1: Grace

Posted on by R.M. Archer

This is the first post of a new series. Each post will be a six-question interview with a writer friend of mine. My first interview is with Grace.

Alpine Writer: What author or authors do you think most influenced your writing?

Grace: Probably Sarah Dessen, or Robin Jones Gunn. I admire their books and I think they’re amazing fiction authors!

 

A: What genre do you write?

G: Teen fiction

 

A: Do you tend to stick to one genre or do you like to write lots of different things?

G: I stick to this genre, unless I feel adventurous, then I try for dystopian fiction.

 

A: Do you tend to write the same kind of things as what you read?

G: Yes, but sometimes I like to read something different and spice up my “routine”.

 

A: What is your most recent work-in-progress?

G: I’m currently in the works of the rough draft of a novel about a girl who reluctantly creates an anonymous blog and becomes famous. That’s not the whole plot obviously but the gist of it.

 

A: What are some of your favorite books?

G: This is such a difficult question to answer! Hmm… Probably the Christy Miller series, The Giver, and Twilight.

 

Cool answers!

Be sure to check back next week for my second interview!
