I was over the moon at Apollycon 2019 to meet one Cambria. She was sweet, funny, and willing to do a few short interviews with me. This is one in three parts, about her writing.
Ali: Introduce yourself.
Cambria: Hi my name is Cambria Hebert. I write lots of different stuff. And… yeah. Read it!
Ali: I’m going to ask you quickly about writing.
Cambria: Okay.
Ali: When did you first know that you wanted to be a writer?
Cambria: Oh my. Umm, I’ve always been interested in writing. When I was fifteen I wrote a book–it wasn’t very good–it was about a music box that turned people into zombies when the music played.
So I always had an interest in writing but I didn’t actually start writing seriously until after my first child was born. And I wanted a career I could do at home so I could be home with my kids, so I decided to give writing a try.
Ali: What do you like to write and it doesn’t have to be fiction or books.
Cambria: Uh hmmm.
Ali: If you had your choice to just sit down, you’re by yourself and you’re going to bang something out. What is it?
Cambria: Probably a college romance. I like college romance. Yeah. Or suspense, I like suspense too.
Ali: Do you consider yourself a plotter or a pantser?
Cambria: Oh a pantser. I don’t plot very well and when I do my characters change their minds and I end up with something else anyway.
Ali: Do you write in linear fashion or do you write a couple parts and build around it?
Cambria: It just depends on the book. If I get a couple cool scenes in my head that are really screaming at me I’ll write those and then build around them. But for the most part I try and write linear just because it’s easier but like if the characters want to do something else, I just do what they want.
Ali: Do you feel that dialogue is more of a driven inspiration in some parts or can you picture it in your mind?
Cambria: For dialogue? Well I don’t really picture the dialogue. It’s mostly the situation that they are in and the dialogue comes along like that.
Ali: Where do your ideas come from?
Cambria: They come from everywhere. Sometimes I see something in a movie and something sparks an idea. Or if I’m peoplewatching or I’m in the shower and I get some random ideas. Anything like that.
Ali: What do you consider your biggest influences?
Cambria: For writing, my biggest influence? I don’t know. I guess just everything. People in General.
