Another 3Q’s and another awesome author! I’m really digging these splashes of tidbits we get to discover!

Today’s author guest is none other than the fantastic Sonora Taylor!

Welcome, Sonora!

Steve: What does your writing time look like? Do you try and write at the same time each day? Do you have a word count you attempt to hit?

Sonora: I usually like to write between work tasks at my day job. Sometimes I write before I log on for the day, since I now work from home; but I’m usually more productive throughout the day as opposed to early morning or evening. Ideally, I’ll write a few hundred words per day for a short story, and 1000 words per day for a novel. However, that doesn’t always happen, so on the days I’m really struggling with the desire to write, I aim for at least a sentence. That way I’m engaging with the story once a day. And those sentences do eventually add up! I also don’t write on weekends unless I’m on a deadline or I have a huge hankering to write, since I consider it work and try not to work on Saturday and Sunday.

Steve: Out of all your releases, do you have a character you could write about forever?

Sonora: This is a tough one because my stories are basically one and done when I write them. I sometimes imagine what happens to the characters after I’ve finished telling their stories, but never strongly enough to keep writing about them. A character type I could write about forever, though, is a woman who kills–and how that sometimes ends up being the most innocuous part of her darkness.

Steve: Tell me about your newest release (novel/story/poem/novella) and why someone should read it!

Sonora: My newest release is Diet Riot: A Fatterpunk Anthology, which I co-edited with Nico Bell. It features 12 fat positive horror stories. People should read it because we need more fat positive horror in our lives, and because the stories kick ass! You can find it through any online retailer, as well as this link: https://books2read.com/u/mlLXvP

Steve: Bonus Question! Did you have a favorite wrestler as a kid?

Sonora: I didn’t watch wrestling as a kid, but plenty of my friends did! My best friend in middle school loved the Stone Cold/The Rock era

Awesome! Thank you so much, Sonora!
