L’Landra’s Tale: A New Day for the DauntlessĪ. What inspires you to write? How would you describe your process? I have done three since then and I have enjoyed every minute.

The following year I returned to that same workshop with a finished product. After much research I found a company I thought would work for me, and had the book published. I took out that old manuscript and honed it, and revised it, and rewrote it. I decided that even if no one read it, I wanted to do it. Then a few years ago I attended a writers workshop on the coast and the main inspiration I got out of it was that everyone has a story to tell, and writing should never be because you think you’ll make money or be famous, but because it brings you joy to tell a story. I also wrote a couple of children’s stories.Īs I got older, into high school and college, I thought about revisiting it again, but never thought it would be good enough. She told me I should try and publish, but I pooh-poohed her. When she read it, she told me it was pretty good, but wondered if I could create a new story using the characters we had made up, in a whole different story. When I got older I wrote a story about us. We used to play like we were characters in the show. Leandra started writing childhood fanfic based on Battlestar Galactica.
