\"Julie<\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Julie Navickas and I\u2019m an author of contemporary romance. I started writing my debut novel during the COVID-19 pandemic; what started as a creative outlet turned into a full-fledged secondary career! I have a trio of books traditionally published with Inkspell Publishing called the Trading Heartbeats trilogy. I\u2019m now proud to call myself an award-winning and best-selling author! In 2024, I\u2019ll release three more called the Clumsy Little Hearts trilogy. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I definitely think the second, third, etc. books are more difficult to write when drafting a series. I focus very closely on character arcs; this becomes a challenge when the character arcs span the length of several novels. Not to mention, it\u2019s hard to keep track of all the tiny plot details along the way! <\/span><\/p>\n

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best advice I can offer is to simply build writing time into the day. I write best in the evening hours, so I look at my writing time as a reward. With the right mentality, writing doesn\u2019t have to become emotionally draining or painful. It\u2019s just fun and something to look forward to after a long day! <\/span><\/p>\n

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most days I commit 1-2 hours to my manuscript. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I sure do! My favorite character to date is Austin Templeton. Austin\u2019s primary story is told in my second novel, I Love You Today, but he also appears in I Loved You Yesterday and I\u2019ll Love You Tomorrow (mostly to stir up trouble!). Austin started out as a secondary character and quickly became something more. He\u2019s a successful career-man with a past; he\u2019s witty and charming and I\u2019ve been told he\u2019s a fan-favorite from readers, too. <\/span><\/p>\n
