About Being a Writer!
Do you hope to be a full-time writer?
Do you hope to be a full-time writer?
Yes, please.
When you write, do you need silence, or do you listen to music?

Music. Loud. I wear headphones or ear buds so I don’t disturb the other writers at the coffee shop. J
Titles – do they come to you before or after you write the book?
Every single time before, until now. I’m writing book three of the series and I’ve yet to decide on a title. Suggestions?
Do you use an outline?
(Is my editor reading this?)
Then yes!
Then yes!
Well, most of the time.
When I use an outline, the writing definitely goes a lot faster and there are fewer edits later on. But when I fall in love with a story, sometimes I write without a map just so I can hold onto the story a little longer. Fading was written without an outline, but the sequel, Searching was written with one.
How long does it you to take to write a book?
It depends on the deadline.
Seriously, the longest was eight months and the shortest time it took for me to write a novel was 13 days. (The deadline was looming.)

A fast-paced fantasy romance with rich characters and immersive storytelling, Searching is the second book in the Fading series by award-winning author Cindy Cipriano.
To say Leath is traveling light is an understatement. She’s only bringing three things on her trip. One is a silver heart locket—a gift from her longtime best-friend-turned-boyfriend Victor Santana. Next is a wedding token in the shape of a J, from James Turner. And of course, she’s packing her pistol. That’s it. She knows that when she leaves Woodvine, even her own mother may not remember her in the shifted reality that will be left behind. Bringing anything else would be pointless. But she’s driven now, by something that eclipses everything else, something she just got back: her memories. And now that she remembers James—she won’t stop searching until she finds him.
