Sydney was born and raised in the Northeast of the United States. She loves to read fantasy, contemporary, and paranormal romance novels. After years of devouring book after book, Sydney started writing her own stories. She enjoys creating complex characters and throwing them together and letting the story write itself. Sydney will often get up hours before dawn to write another chapter or read the chapter written the day before. She has a busy schedule but gets creative when finding time in the day to steal writing moments.
Q: What is your writing day like?
A: I get up really early. I wake up around 3:30 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. This gives me time to write before work. Since I’m a morning person, I find that time productive. My drive to work is about an hour. Sometimes I talk out the story to see if it makes sense. At the end of the day, I try to spend another hour to two writing and revising, but I'm not that successful. I follow this schedule during the weekdays, but on weekends, I try to write more.
Q: Why did you to decide to become a writer?
A: When I was younger, I liked to entertain family and friends by telling stories. During sleepovers, I created scary stories and told my newly made-up stories to anyone that would listen. I didn't become an avid reader until high school, but at the time, I was already writing. That's when I decided to create stories for others to read.
Q: What inspires you?
A: I’m inspired by everything—a news story, a causal comment, two people in a store, a good book. I keep a small notebook with me to write down ideas or observations. Sometimes those ideas are fleshed out into full stories and sometimes it’s only a little piece.
Q: What are some of your hobbies?
A: Other than writing, I like to read. I devour books. I don't have a favorite genre. There are a few genres I enjoy reading, but when it comes down to it, I like well-written books that are character driven with an interesting plot. In addition, I like photography, drawing, and traveling.
