A question from Facebook's ASK ME ANYTHING...

Sarah S.: 

What do you find most challenging during the 
writing process?

Melanie P. Falina:

That's a great question! I think the most challenging 
thing is just finding the time to write. I prefer to be 
alone and in a quiet space when I write but that's not 
always possible. And I have written on crowded trains 
and planes, in waiting rooms, etc. because I don't want 
to ignore the inspiration when it calls to me, and I don't 
want to fall out of the habit of writing regularly either. 
But just like making time to go to the gym when life 
already has you bogged down with responsibilities, I have 
to make time to write too.

 

Stay tuned for a new giveaway!

A question from Facebook's ASK ME ANYTHING...


Cindy F.:

Do you have a favorite poem? 
If yes, which one and why?

Melanie P. Falina:

I think I probably have one favorite per book, 
but not one favorite from all of my books combined. 
My favorite in Rooftop Rhapsody is "This Night In May" 
where I talk about walking around the Eiffel Tower at 
night. When I re-read that poem I can still feel everything 
I felt that night, it's kind of like that poem is a time capsule 
for me and I can just open it back up and relive it all over again.

A question from Facebook's ASK ME ANYTHING...


Kathleen S.: 

Are there any other places you've been 
inspired to write about?

Melanie P. Falina:

Absolutely! I am currently working on a 
few others based on time I'd spent in Egypt, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
