Spotlight On Writers
Barbara Avon
@barb_avon
- Where, do you hail from?
I was born in a quaint little town in Switzerland and immigrated to Canada when I was two years old. Although I grew up in the Niagara region, I now live in Ottawa, Canada.
- What is the greatest thing about the place you call home?
Home, to me, is a feeling of comfort and serenity. Home truly is where the heart is. As far as Ottawa goes, it’s rich in old architecture – one of my favourite things.
- What turns you on creatively?
Words! My stories are always inspired by one word. That’s why I choose the title first. After that, I’m driven by the rush that comes in creating new worlds and new characters that come alive on paper.
- What is your favorite word, and can you use it in a poetic sentence?
Masticates
“Vivacious and free, she masticates at the soiled memories of her youth and emerges a star of her own show, thirty years in the making.”
- What is your pet peeve?
When technology slows down the creative process! It seems my computer would like to restart whenever I’m in the middle of a crucial scene.
