Q: Where do you go and what do you do to get inspiration for your writing?

A: For inspiration I like sitting, which is super weird, but I stay up really late. I like all of my lights off and my mind clears and everything comes together, especially behind my four walls.

Q: Who is your biggest inspiration for writing?

A: Amy Kaur. She is one of my favorite poets, and I like how she words things and she is a very deep, creative person. I definitely stem a lot of my writings off of hers.
