Nicola Black has always been a very creative young woman. When she was younger, she and her mother would make up stories together. As Nicola got older, she started writing them down. However, she would never finish anything. Throughout school, she had to write poems for English. She was homeschooled and her patient mother taught her how to write well. Eventually, Nicola started writing poems outside of school projects. At first she did not think they were very good, but after a while, she finally published her first set of poems on Smashwords. After receiving some very good reviews, she finally realized that she could write. Nicola Black is currently working on three novels and a compilation of short stories.
Nicola Black has been to Scotland three times, but is currently living in the South. She has also joined the Navy and is going to boot camp in September. She also enjoys writing music.
Q&A Interview with Nicola Black:
Q: Tell me a bit about yourself and about your writing.
Nicola: Well I’m just a young woman with a huge imagination. My childhood was a bit rough, and I think that helped me to sympathize with people and situations. I have a huge imagination and could probably dream up just about anything. I think my writing reflects a lot of that.
Q: What inspired you to make a poetry book?
Nicola: I actually didn’t start my poetry for a book. I just wrote down ideas that would pop into my head, and it sort of accumulated over the years. Then I put it up on Smashwords to see what kind of response it would have. I was surprised at all of the great feedback.
