Home of the author Jason McDonald. Come along for the ride.
As writers, we live and die by our words.
Particularly, the avenues we choose to formulate and describe a scene in a chapter become critical ways for us to convey emotions, fear, and acceptance for our readers to relish in our books. There are formulaic frameworks, tried and true structures, even the dreaded copycat of previous works. Pick your poison. Each comes with its own set of dire consequences.
I like to wing it.
Every writer finds inspiration in some some sort of real event or memory. It is the nature of the beast.
That is not to say that we use our lives in totality and turn every single aspect into a plot point or scene in one of our books.
No, not at all.
But, we need reference points, or at least, most of do. We do not all write about our lives and entangle it in our works. Though, I would be hard-pressed to say that I do not include tidbits of my world in my novels.
The reason for my absence has been for a positive outcome. The publishing of my psychological suspense thriller novel, Pandemic-19, with the publishing company Good Twin Publishing, has come to fruition. The editing process to get to the point of publishing took considerable time and effort, my focus solely being there and unfortunately leaving my posts to wither in the wind.
