Soooo you probably don’t remember this, and that’s ok if you don’t, no worries, but do you remember what size you used for the letters to write this book? If you don’t remember what size would you recommend. Thanks!
Cleo Collins I used size eleven, but it's completely up to you what size you want to use.

Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Cleo Collins I'd go to Camp Half-Blood from Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, and The Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan. There, I would hang out with Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Piper, and Nico. I would *hopefully* be claimed by Athena and then get a quest with the seven heroes of Olympus, Nico, and Reyna that I would miraculously survive.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Cleo Collins Well, it depends. I have two types of writers block. Type A is when I have the ideas, but I don't have the motivation. Type B is when I have the motivation, but I don't have the ideas. With Type A, I sit down and force myself to write, and then later, I go through and rewrite so that the quality is better. For Type B, I mainly just complain about not being able to write whatever it is until I come up with an idea.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Cleo Collins My advice is to write about what you like. If you think you'll find a topic you're enthusiastic boring in a few months, then DO NOT write about it. If you don't want to be writing, the quality of your work will drop. Other than that, go for it! Talk to some of your favorite authors for advice or motivation.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Cleo Collins I got the idea for Song of the Traitor while I was conditioning for volleyball. A song was playing (I can't remember what it was), and it fueled me with adrenaline. That's where I got the idea for Anika's Imperium. Everything else just flowed from that!
