Interview
1. What is the
hardest part of writing your books?
Honestly the most difficult part of writing my books
is to balance inspiration with groundedness.
Inspiration shows up in unexpected ‘waves’ and I like to ‘ride the wave’
when it happens. Sometimes I’ve found
myself writing all day. It’s wonderful
when all sense of time is lost and I’m ‘sparked’ with inspiration for the
written word, and I ‘ride the crest of the wave.’ This is when my writing flows. At other times I’m awake at two or three in
the morning when a wave of inspiration brings the perfect enhancement to a
chapter or a poem in progress. Waves of
inspiration are spontaneous. Each
inspiration is perfect! But, too much
inspiration is not good! After many
years of writing I’ve learned that inspiration is best balanced with
groundedness. To be grounded in the
simple, practical everyday tasks of living is necessary for good health, good
for the Soul, and a great way of providing a comfortable context and framework
within which to do my best writing. This
balance of ‘inspiration’ and ‘groundedness’ can be elusive at times but
nevertheless is possible. I’ve found
it’s important to set the intent that ‘I’m writing my book in a way that’s
comfortable for me.’
In terms of
the mechanics of writing, I would say that I find editing somewhat tedious
after awhile. When writing fiction
novels I’ve found strong character development and conversational scenes to be
most challenging. Also, I’ve discovered
that fiction is more challenging for me to write than non-fiction or poetry.
Nevertheless,
I’ve learned that the hardest part of writing books is always resolved with
practice and balance.
2. What songs
are most played on your Ipod?
To be quite honest I don’t have an Ipod. When I listen to music it’s through my
desktop computer, music CD’s or sometimes live music. My favourites are light rock, light jazz,
folk, blues, and classical along with classical east Indian Sitar music. I like Mozart and recently read about how
Mozart’s music activates the right side of the brain which enhances creativity. Also, the deep and soulful music of Leonard
Cohen is always great.
3. Do you have
critique partners or beta readers?
I never have critique partners or beta readers when I
write. I truly believe that most
response to writing is subjective, and my best approach to develop my writing
style is to read more and write more.
4. What book
are you reading now?
I’m reading two books right now. First is my own recent release of which I am
the author ‘Finding Your Center: Explorations In Philosophy, New Physics And
Eastern Mysticism’ and I’m reading this for the second time from the
perspective of a writer and a reader.
The second book I’m reading now is ‘The Fifth Agreement’ by Don Miguel
Ruiz.
5. How did you
start your writing career?
I began
writing poetry during my teenage years, but I didn’t keep this poetry. I didn’t write for many, many years while
involved in education, work and family.
Then, I returned to writing many years later while raising my children
during their teenage years, and while I was operating a business. Initially I just wanted to bring increased
balance into my day to day living. I
wrote a magazine article about natural healing.
This article was published as soon as I sent it to the magazine
editor. This set my writing career
ablaze. I felt like I was meant to write,
at least a little, since my article was so easily published. Then, I began writing one hundred poems. I considered my poetry writing as a
hobby. Although I didn’t think about
being published at first, once I read the completed manuscript of poems I began
to envision these poems as a published book.
Within the first five manuscript submissions my poetry was accepted for
publication with a publisher. I enjoyed
the writing and publishing experience immensely which was soon followed by my
writing a series of poetry, fiction and non-fiction books.
