Getting to know Rocky Finale!

Everyone Rocky is very passionate about her craft, writing is second in her life because her daughter is first in her life. She would love to be a best selling author, but if that doesn't happen, she will be just be content with the fact that she was about to get her story out to the world.

She's very rarely get stuck on writing and she seldom get writer's block. She listens to music when she writes, to get her pumped and to keep her momentum going. In the event that she does get stuck or get writer's block, she'll leave the story alone for a while to take her mind off of it and then go back to it with fresh eyes.

 When it comes to writing, music is her best friend. She's a music junkie, she likes to listen to music from the 70's, 80's and 90's to get her juices flowing and she also like to listen to different genres of music as well. From Jazz to Classical to R&B to a few different rap artists.

What's going on in Rocky's Mind continued!

When Rocky is writing a book, the length of time for her to complete it all depends on her work and life schedule. Her first book I Win You Lose took her all of two months to write and it took her that long because she lost both her grandmothers one right behind each other and she was totally stressed out and her focus wasn't on writing at the time. With her second novel, My Man My Abuser took her longer to write to due to she kept stopping because she was getting emotional on some of the scenes her character was going through. After she completed her manuscript, she then give it to a couple of test readers to get their input on it, then she'll send it to her editor for her to do her part. Once she gets it back, she make her corrections, do a final edit and then she'll leave it alone for about a week or so. Then she'll come back to it with a fresh pair of eyes to see if there may be anything she may have missed, and if all is well, then she'll send her files to the printer to get printed up. What's going to happen next? Find out tomorrow!

Even though writing came naturally to her, she never once thought about pursuing a writing career until she dropped out of college at Southern Connecticut State University and enrolled herself into the Breaking into Print writing program where she completed the course in just two years. Want to know who her mentor is? Stay tuned for tomorrow!
