Interview with:Jessica Angelique [jessicaangelique]
WRITING
 | What did you first read? How did you begin to write? Who were the first to read what you wrote? The First book that I ever read was "Where The Wild Things Are". I began writing at a very early age. I would write down my thoughts, and feelings, and that took me into journal writing as a young adult. My children were the first ones to read any of my writing. |
 | What is your favorite genre? Can you provide a link to a site where we can read some of your work or learn something about it? My favorite genre is Non-Fiction. http://www.eloquentbooks.com/theroadtome.html |
 | What is your creative process like? What happens before sitting down to write? I like quiet places. I've been known to take my laptop to the park, on a trail, or to the library. If I'm at home I always pour myself a glass of red wine, and I listen to jazz. My favorite jazz artist to listen to, when I write, is George Howard. |
 | What type of reading inspires you to write? Reading actually doesn't inspire me to write. Life is what inspires me to write. |
 | What do you think are the basic ingredients of a story? Truth, honesty, realism, a good hook, a fantastic story line and of course, good writing. |
 | What voice do you find most to your liking: first person or third person? First |
 | What well known writers do you admire most? Maya Angelou, Eli Wiesel, Toni Morrison, John Steinbeck |
 | Are you equally good at telling stories orally? (laughing) Yes. |
 | Deep down inside, who do you write for? The child within and the woman emerging. |
 | Is writing a form of personal therapy? Are internal conflicts a creative force? Writing is always a form of therapy and it is true for me. |
 | Does reader feed-back help you? ALWAYS! |
 | Do you believe you have already found "your voice" or is that something one is always searching for? I have found it. |
 | What sites do you frequent on-line to share experiences or information? Twitter and my blog. http://jessicaangelique.blogspot.com and http://www.twitter.com/jesicaangelique |
 | What do you recommend I do with all those things I wrote years ago but have never been able to bring myself to show anyone? "You must do the thing which you think you cannot do"-Eleanor Roosevelt |
