Getting to Know Time for Once: A Reimagined Blog Series Part II
Getting personal is petrifying.
So, why not write a semi-autobiographical story?
The idea for Time for Once is an extrapolation of memories dumped into a what-if scenario.
The bones of the prologue came from a writing assignment I completed in 2015, where my what-if scenario plays out in a scene that I believe many of us wonder about as we get older: reconnecting with a familiar stranger.
Chapter One takes you back to the beginning when Jolie meets Jace for the first time.
And here comes the personal petrification: out of all the chapters in this book, Chapter One is the most personal.
I wrote from what I knew. But oh!—the journey I went on with Jolie and Jace! What a privilege it has been to write into what I didn't know.
“You really write from what you don’t know. You write from what you know, but you write into what you don’t know. ”
With all of that said the experience of writing an incredibly personal book has not stopped me from writing! And what a difference writing my second book has come to be. At the moment, the second book is slated for publication sometime in 2024. Curious to learn more? Click Here!
