What are your ambitions for your writing
career?
I am working on completing 4 books this year.
As well as three curriculums to go along with
my books. This year I am plan on writing more
than I have in my career. I am doing much this
year and my writing is set up to match the
completion of my second Master’s degree in
counseling. Which I’ll complete in December. I
am using this year to bring everything
together with my books, counseling, teaching,
and speaking. I really want to create a second
business and work for myself if I can. Sadly,
there is no way of knowing if folks are going to
support or not but this is where great planning
and faith in God come in.
There are readers, and authors, who would
love to know your thoughts on the ups and
downs of writing. Please tell us our thoughts
about how easy/difficult writing can be.
What is the hardest thing about writing?
Writing is not hard. You have to remain focus
and remain busy. The difficulties an author will
find is dealing with having money one day
and not having any another day. The ups and
downs of this business are not for the faint of
heart and it can be extremely discouraging if
you allow it to. Intestinal fortitude and plenty
of prayer is what is going to help an author
make it in this business. I say all the time no
one knows when the next best seller will be
penned but if you writing nothing it won’t be
you.
What was the hardest thing about writing
your latest book?
The hardest thing with writing my latest book
is forcing myself to sit down and finishing the
book while trying to complete this graduate
work. It’s not easy but I am working on getting
everything done and done well.
What is the easiest thing about writing?
Once seated the easiest thing is allowing the
story to tell itself. I get excited about seeing
where a story is going to take me.
How long on average does it take you to
write a book?
I have finished a book in a few months and
From Gigolo to Jesus took two and half years
to finish with all the starting and stopping.
