Getting a 360 degree view of what happened, on different timetables, that eventually meet up. Compulsion, is probably closer to the truth. Not sure if inspiration is the right word. JSC: What inspired you to write this particular story? What were the challenges in bringing it to life? Interpretation: Hardest part of this book was ripping out 60K words at least three times and rewriting the ending at least 20. JSC: What was the hardest part of writing NoX?ĪW: Remember the digging through piles of internal questions? There were lots of them, and sometimes they got mixed up with parts that didn’t go with this book (also how I knew there could be a second one) and the questions didn’t always have answers my main characters could provide, so I had to figure out who I was missing, and how they played a part in it all. I this instance, I got the idea for a shifter book, but it wasn’t just any kind of shifter, so I had to dig through piles of internal questions, take lots of notes, until I found the answer. Sometimes all at once, sometimes an overview, sometimes in bits and pieces. JSC: How did you choose the topic for NoX?ĪW: I don’t think I ever choose a topic for a book. It also gave me the opportunity to just because they have obstacles, maybe even a few they can’t defeat, they don’t allow the disability to define them.Īnd of course, toothpicks, peach bread, barefoot/flipflop, and my personal favorite, Bullshitometer. Because it gave me an opportunity to show that no matter the extent of a disability, a person can still be whole, they can still make choices, and while their struggles may be different, they are still individuals. JSC: Name the book you like most among all you’ve written, and tell us why.ĪW: In The Absence of Light. So while that one book may take 4-5 years because of difficulty, I often get out 5-6 other books in that time.ĪW: Starbucks piled on one of their couches or my desk at home.
If I get stumped on one, I jump to another until something knocks loose. JSC: What do you do when you get writer’s block?ĪW: I write multiple stories at the same time and this is why. Important moments are always in detail, whether a fight scene or a sex scene. I do my best to write character driven stories that are fast paced and multifaceted. JSC: How would you describe your writing style/genre?ĪW:I write speculative fiction, which basically means everything other than contemporary. I can still remember my first “novel”, The Fat Cat Sat on A Hat.
Scott Coatsworth: When did you know you wanted to write, and when did you discover that you were good at it?Īdrienne Wilder: The moment I could hold a crayon. Thanks so much, Adrienne, for joining me!
