Interview
with Angel Dunworth
What
do you write?
Just
about everything... I adore words, puns, anything to do with
language. The book I have coming out is a short story collection
written for troubled teens and parents addressing issues of things
they deal with today. My website is filled with links to
organizations that offer help and also articles, statistics...
whatever I thought might be useful.
How
do you write?
I
was reading an interview by another writer and in it he stated that
he writes from an outline like we used to have to make in high
school. People write from an outline or plan? I can't even imagine
how hard that must be. The only way I've ever been able to write is
for the first paragraph and first scene... words will just start
popping into my head and I have to write them down. I just take it
and run...with no plan anything can happen and it feels so free I get
addicted until I’m done.
Isn't
that harder to do?
No.
not for me. It does have it's drawbacks. One time I was reading to
the kids in my living room and one says, "What happened to such
and such?" Oh hell I left that character stranded in the middle
of the book! lol Forgot all about her. lol
Another
time after my cancer surgery they put me on opiates. I had this
awesome idea for the sequel for my masterpiece. Remember though I was
on percaset for pain. So 2 weeks later when the Rx was over I
reread... about 30 pages and it said over and over "and then it
was." lol
I
hadn't written the great thing I thought and neither could I remember
what I was going to write! Lol
What
inspires you to write?
The first inspiration I ever
remember is my Pappaw when I was little reading to me and using
different character voices. That used to thrill me to no end. I loved
his Winnie the Pooh voices!
Now I write what's real mostly.
I get inspired simply by wanting to help and putting myself in, “Wow!
What are they going through and how does it effect them?”
When I really need to FEEL
inspiration, I use prayer or I simply look at my loved ones and at
how blessed I am. Once I do that I want every one to become as
blessed as I am and so I write. I write about mindsets and obstacles.
To me those things are fantasy, the reality is this, “Do not become
your situation; Over come your situation.”
Not
a bad mantra, any others you use a lot?
Life is not about waiting out
the storm; life is about dancing in the rain!
Even at its worst: Life is good!
FEAR... F-E-A-R
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
That's about it!
Sounds
good. So where do I buy this book of yours?
Snapshots
from Home will be available where you buy ebooks most likely Amazon.
Release date to be disclosed soon.
The
soft cover is not close to ready yet but I will blog about it when it
is!
