Can you tell us, what compelled you to
write your book?
It really came from two places. A writing contest for a short story titled “Locked
up,” which made me start writing the story.
And a friend of mine who became a drug addict after taking prescription
pain pills. Seeing his struggle let me
see that this was a story that needed to be told.
What was the hardest part while writing
it?
The biggest challenges were changing the
voices as the points of view changed.
First, it was displaying the arrogance of a teenage with the world in
his hands, then the distressed mania of an addict.
What obstacles or fears must a writer
face? Any tips on how to overcome them?
The biggest fear, I think,
for any writer is how the book will be received. The most important part is to keep moving
forward. Even if your first book doesn’t
do very well, it doesn’t mean that you should stop. Your next book might be the life altering
story that we are all waiting for.
What makes a good book?
A good book is a story with
well developed characters. I want to
feel what they feel and be completely captivated by their struggle. A good book allows the reader to briefly
leave the outside world and become lost in the venture of their new fictional
friends.
Do you also enjoy reading? If yes, would
you recommend a few good titles?
I don’t necessarily enjoy
reading. I do read, and quite a
bit. It is something that I force myself
to do as per the advice of Stephen King in his book on writing, most appropriately
titled “On Writing.” “On Writing” is
perhaps the best book I could recommend to anyone who has even the mildest
inclination to become a writer.
How did you feel when you finished writing
your story?
I feel incredible. It is the most rewarding of pursuits, to see
a story that was born in your mind live out on paper. I believe this is the same feeling an artist
encounters when finishing a portrait,
it’s the highest expression of self.
What advice would you give to aspiring
writers?
Keep writing.
The more you do it the better you get and the more stories you will end
up with.
