The Author Interviews: Alan Seeger
The next Author in my series is Alan Seeger.
Million dollar question, are you working on another book?Just one? I generally have seven or eight on the back burner at any given time. Don’t you? The next one on the schedule is 13 BITES, Vol. V, a horror anthology that I am editing. We do four short story anthologies each year, of various genres. It’ll be out October 15, and will mark our fifth anniversary.What do you think about the ebook revolution?I love ebooks. I use my phone as my ebook reader, and I love the fact that I can carry a library containing a thousand or more books in my pocket.Do you have a day job in addition to being a writer? If so, what do you do during the day?I edit books for other indie authors.Have you thought about joining with another author to write a book?I actually am working on a science fiction epic about the colonization of the galaxy, with Lacey Ellyna.Planner or pantser?I’d say I’m definitely a pantser. I try to plan stuff out, but I always end up taking off and just writing up a storm.How do you deal with bad reviews, rejection and criticism?You have to just shrug it off, and realize that you can’t please everyone. Even when you get ten five-star reviews, that one single-star that says that this is the worst book they ever read just CRUSHES you… but you have to go on.What do you find difficult about writing?Forcing myself to spend the BiC time (butt in chair).
