Broken Pieces

Author Interview – Jessica Kristie

Thursday, July 11, 2013

 

Have you included a lot of your life experiences, even friends, in the plot? The basic emotion and reaction is based on some personal experience, but the book is all fiction.

What do you do to unwind and relax? Quiet. All I need is quiet. 

What are your current writing projects now? I have a psychological thriller that is now complete that I’m very excited about. I believe it really highlights my growth as a writer and allowed me to write in a genre I really enjoy reading. I hope to have it out early next year.

Have you developed a specific writing style? I believe I have, although it is not something I can easily pin-point myself. With poetry it is easy to see my style. I think some of that flows over into my novel writing which adds to my personal voice.

What do you consider the most challenging about writing a novel, or about writing in general? It can be an overwhelmingly tedious process to keep characters and storyline straight while flowing it all together into a cohesive and exciting story. That is always the beginning challenge for a writer but also the most rewarding aspect once it is accomplished.

What is your favorite color? Purple and Periwinkle

What is your favorite food? Pizza

What is your favorite quote, by whom, and why? “It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.” – St. John of the Cross

This quote reminds me that when it comes to what is going on in my life, it is not about everyone else. There is no comparing or judging, we just do what we do to the best of our ability and move on from there.
