About my writing, well I knew at a very early age that I wanted
to be a writer. What’s even more interesting is that I
knew at the age of ten that I’d be a romance writer. Consequently, I wrote my
first short love story at the age of eleven and I’ve continued to write ever since.
Now, onto a few more interesting tidbits about Maria Cox—
What am I working on?
Right now, I’m in between projects. My latest novelette, Jungle Fever was released through Secret
Cravings Publishing on 2/5 and my novella Captive
(V.2) is in the hands of the beta readers. Currently, I’m finishing a first
draft of a ghostwriting assignment.
How does my work differ from others of its genre?
My work differs from others in my genre in that the
characters in my stories are witty and down to earth people. I also believe
that my work is different because the individuals portrayed in my novellas are diverse.
Why do I write what I do?
I write romance because I enjoy writing about complex human
relationships and how men and women triumph over challenges to be together, and
yes I am a sucker for a happy ending.
How does your writing process work?
When I began writing I was what other writers would call a
pantser; I still have pantser tendencies, but my writing process has evolved.
Today, I’m much more structured and I make it a point to write outlines and
character profiles for each short story I write.
Next week: I’m honored to introduce you to 3 amazing
authors. Their “My Writing Process” blog posts will be published on March 31st.
