Hello, Cindy J Smith 🙂

Welcome to the blog today…

Here is the interview…

 

1. When did you first start writing poetry? 

I have written poetry as long as I can remember.  My sister says I used to change songs and poems since I was about 3.

 

2. Do you have a schedule or do you write whenever inspiration strikes? 

I write when the voices tell me to write.  I would never be able to schedule it.  Forcing a poem is very hard for me.

 

3. What inspires you? 

I find inspiration everywhere, music, nature, things I read or hear, and even by request.  All of a sudden, things just click and I have a poem in my head.

 

4. How long did it take you to put together your latest poetry book? 

The entire process took me about 1 year.  Writing, editing, and deciding to actually publish it.

 

5. Do you have a favourite poem?

Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

 

6. What are your reading habits? 

I read lots of different genres.  I prefer horror but I am branching out.   I try to read about 5 books a week. 

 

7. What advice would you give to other poets out there who are thinking of self publishing their work? 

I was reluctant to do it, but I am glad I did so my advice is have your work edited.  The small changes I made to my work did make all them flow much smoother.  It also let me see that sometimes what I thought I said, I did not really!

 

 

8. Who is, or are, your favourite poet(s)? 

Dr. Seuss and William Blake
