Human beings love stories; we always have. Storytelling is a powerful medium for human connection. I feel so privileged to have been a communicator, a storyteller, my whole adult life. What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer’s block? I don’t get writer’s block because I allow myself to write terrible sentences and go back later to fix them. What is your favorite time to write? I write whenever I have time. But I prefer mornings, when the coffee is kicking in! What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve ever received and would like to impart to other writers? “Just keep your fingers moving over the keyboard. Even it it’s ‘The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog.’ Just write. Eventually it will turn into something worth reading.” What excites you most about being a writer in today’s age? The opportunity to connect with readers all over the world. Laura Knoy’s The Shopkeeper of Alsace is out now with Bedazzled Ink Publishing Company.
