It isn’t so much what inspires me to write, as that I would be miserable if I weren’t writing. I’ve kept writing since then and have a wonderful backlog of stories awaiting revision. By the end of the year, I had a complete draft of what would eventually become my debut novel, Thorn. (I’m still not sure what I was thinking.) I chose my favorite Grimms’ fairy tale, The Goose Girl, as my basic plot line to make it easier on myself, and wrote a chapter a week. I didn’t really get serious about writing until my final year in university when I decided to write a novel in addition to my “overload” class schedule, 20 hour a week job, and multiple clubs and groups. Even if I wasn’t actively writing, I was still telling myself stories as I went through my days. I stapled my first books together when I was three or four, and never stopped. I’m one of those people who was always writing something. I hope you enjoy getting to meet Intisar and don’t forget to check out her books! Today I’m pleased to welcome fantasy author Intisar Khanani to the blog.
