Dear Family and Friends,

I am excited to share with you the Q & A I had the privilege of doing with Spillwords. This interview is aligned with being Author of the Month for May. Thank you again to Dagmara and her team for this incredible opportunity! I won’t repeat myself, so I’ll let you get to the questions…

We offer our first and exclusive Q&A Interview with Lauren Scott, a writer whose literary works have been featured on our Spillwords pages as well as being Author of the Month of May 2023.

  1. What does it mean to be selected as Author of The Month?

I feel honored to receive this wonderful accolade, and I am grateful my family and friends took the time to vote for me. It means my writing has been acknowledged and gained valued exposure among talented authors on your esteemed, literary website.

  1. How have your friends and/or family influenced your writing?

The support I receive from family and friends continually motivates me to write. My son nudged me to start a blog years ago, which has been a wonderful platform to share my writing. These loved ones have also assisted with my books in various ways. Their love and encouragement provides the fuel for me to stay on this path of creativity.

  1. What inspires you to write?

I enjoy the challenge of wordplay, which probably stems from my enjoyment of playing Scrabble. Shaping words into phrases or sentences to express a deep emotion or to paint a picture. Many poems are inspired by my strong marriage, and then motherhood followed, which brought new emotions to the surface. I also feel a deep connection to nature, spending time outdoors, especially camping and backpacking. I find living in the wilderness with essentials tucked into a backpack to be a profound adventure.

I’ve asked for your support before, but I’d be grateful if you’d visit Spillwords.com to read the full interview. You can land there seamlessly by clicking here. 🦋

  1. the challenge of wordplay really is a blast. This is one of the reasons I love 19th century classics. The playfulness of the language in writers like Jane Austen is just amazingly inspirational.

      1. Dear Lauren, you are so very welcome. Continue doing great things my dear! Obviously, it’s being noticed in a supportive way! Hugs and smooches! 🥰💖😘💐😍

  8. Congratulations, Lauren! This is a fabulous interview and the questions help us to understand you better as a person and writer.

    1. You always make me smile, Resa. Thanks so much for your kind, kind words. I am grateful you took the time to read the interview. And you are much younger than me, so don’t even talk about age. 🙂 I didn’t get serious about writing and sharing my work until my fifties, and now a new decade has begun and I’m going full speed ahead! Loving every moment. Can’t wait to see your gown! Happy Friday, and thanks again for your support! ❤️🤗🌷

    1. Thanks, Michele! I’m glad you enjoyed the interview. Yes, I’ve always loved Scrabble, and I’m sure the nature aspect wasn’t a surprise. I also appreciate your kind words about my photo. That was from one of our backpacking trips in the Sierra Mountains. Thanks again! ❤️
