Meet Candace Robinson

We were lucky to catch up with Candace Robinson recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Candace with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?

For me when I start something, I generally have the tendency to finish it. That could be a part of my anxiety or just wanting to see a completed project. I’ve never really been a procrastinator either because once something is off my plate I feel like a weight is lifted with each accomplishment.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I’ve always wanted to do something with writing, and when I was younger, I actually wanted to do horror screenwriting. But as time went on that turned into writing novels, which I wasn’t sure if I could do that. After my dad passed away was when I started to finally write, realizing that life is short and things can disappear in an instant. My novels aren’t horror, but they do have some of those aspects along with dark fantasy. This year is a bit different with a few of my novels because I’m releasing a paranormal rom com titled Bewitched by the Headless Horseman and a gothic cottagecore titled Poison Nights & Twilight Alchemy. Writing is an escape for me to different worlds I wish I could travel to along with characters I wish I could meet.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Organization (which yes, can definitely be achieved even if you are the most unorganized person in the world. Love of writing because without passion for something, you may still succeed, but it’s worth so much more when you adore it. And lastly, being able to really get inside a character’s head, even if they do actions and things you would never do, you still have to become that character. If you want to write, just start with getting words on a page because a blank page can’t be worked with but words can be.

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?

Probably my first book, Vault of Glass, because I didn’t really know what I was doing when I released it the first time. I should’ve edited it more, read through it more, improved my writing some. But when I worked with beta readers, I learned what areas I could improve it, and I honed it on my craft and practiced and did more writing sprints. The main thing is having at least one good beta reader who understands your story and doesn’t want to change it completely, just embellish it to make it even better.
