Sofie Couch is “raising a para normal young adults… and writing in the same genre.” The writing cave in Central Virginia is where she is most often found, but she can always be coaxed out of the hidey-hole with the lure of coffee or the promise of brilliant conversation. Her favorite subjects include:
Homeschool/Unschooling
Chicken Wrangling
Writing and Other Storytelling Formats
Visual Processing
A graduate of the University of Virginia with a degree in rhetoric, (her B.A. in b.s.,) Sofie considers herself a child of the mountains as well as the swamps of Virginia. Although she grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia, her family spent most of their weekends in beautiful Gloucester, Virginia on a tidal river, the setting of her three book series: Angels Unawares, Moonshine, and Star Crossed.
So you want to become a writer and no one is able to talk you out of it? Okay, here is Sofie’s straightforward “how-to be a writer” tutorial:
1) Get the heck out of school and go directly to bodyguard training school, (all the while, reading whatever you can lay your hands on.)
2) Go to Scotland and work in a grocery store for a year, but write at night,
3) Come back to the states and find the most repulsive string of jobs you can,
4) Find a better job, but with crappy pay,
5) Go to college,
6) Get the heck out of college and pick-up writing where you left off in Scotland,
7) Write, write, write, (still reading whatever you can lay your hands on.)
(Disclaimer: you may just want to skip steps 2-6, but definitely go to bodyguard training school so you have something to tell your grandkids.)
