Today I'm pleased to welcome author Sylvia Hubbard to the blog to talk a little bit about her novel Love 101: Learning to Love and being a writer.
Do you recall how your interest in writing originated or did you always just know you wanted to be a writer?
It was my mother’s undoing. I used to lie to her ridiculously when I was six and seven. For my punishment, after my whipping, she would have me write the lie down. I found that the lies sounded so much better written out and I could add so much depth to them. My pain became my pleasure and I’ve been a writer ever since.
What inspires most of your novels?
Actual real life incidents or situations I hear or read about. Detroit, where most of my stories take place, is a very interesting place where a fiction writer just couldn’t make this stuff up, I swear.
Is there anything you found particularly challenging when you were writing Love 101?
