Why do you write? What is your motivation ?
My motivation is my sanity. I feel that if I didn’t I would be a completely different person, bottled up with all this useless energy and emotion. For as long as I can remember I have written to make myself feel better, and get whatever I am feeling out in the open.
Besides writer’s block, what can be a challenge for you when writing?
Rewriting a piece until it becomes terrible. I try not to read things over and over again because if I do the more I change it the worse it usually gets.
How do you pass writer’s block?
Let it work itself out. I try not to force it and I focus on other things. Once I start doing other things all I want to get back to doing is writing.
How often do you write? Is it premeditated or spontaneous?
Never premeditated always spontaneous. I tend to write minimum of once a day. Whenever I feel it’s necessary to.
Within the last three years how has your writing evolved?
I think it has evolved dramatically with the events that have taken place in my life. I’m always writing loosely about my current situations in life, so given my shift in life over even the past year I’d say it has evolved into a type of writing I never thought I’d dive into.
How often do you write pieces that you don’t post/publish?
A lot more than I do post/publish. I post things I feel people want/need to hear, and I won’t post certain things if I wrote it specifically to give to someone, or sometimes I honestly can’t bring myself to post some things I’ve written. Maybe someday…
If you could put any author/writer in your pocket, who would it be? Why?
Mitch Albom, just to see what his take on everything I do would be. Have always loved his writing, wouldn’t mind a few daily conversations with the guy.
Do you prefer ebooks, paperback or hardcovers?
Paperback…for life!
Do you feel that traditional paperback and hardcover books will no longer exist?
I believe they always will. Nothing can compare to holding the weight of a book and turning pages dramatically as you race to the end of a great story.
If you were the original creator of any book and/or film, what would it be? Why?
The usual suspects. Because that is a brilliant film and a brilliant story, and always will be the film that made me want to become a writer.
Where do you want to be in 5-10 years ?
Writing televisions series and creating stories that people love and hate to get attached to.
