3Q’s – Tyler Wright and the case of the wrong car!
One thing I’ve learned through this entire 3Q’s interview series, is that I’ve managed to connect with so many amazing authors – from folks who’re about to release their first book – to internationally recognized and best-selling authors. It’s been great seeing the processes of all of them, and today’s is no exception. With his debut novel now out in the world, I’m super happy to have Tyler join me today!
Welcome Tyler!
Steve: What does your process look like once you finish your first draft? Do you immediately dive back into it, or do you take some time away?
Tyler: As I write the first draft, I make notes of scenes and moments that are especially weak, or if there are major changes that occur to me (a new beginning, introducing a new character or subplot, etc.). I always force myself to finish the first draft, so I have something to work off of, but after it is done I compile all my notes and sit down to replan. I’m a big planner and listen to the playlist I have made for that novel as I write and plan to get into the mindset for that story.
Steve: Do you believe cryptozoological creatures exist? If so, which one do you think has the best chance of being proven to exist?
Tyler: I don’t, I am a fairly skeptical person, but I really hope Bigfoot is real. As a Coloradan, there are a lot of references to him in the state (Them? It’s supposed to be a species, right?) and also since cultures across the world have similar stories, I think it would be cool if there was some truth behind all the legends.
Steve: Of the books or stories you’ve released, which is your personal favorite and why?
Tyler: I am currently working on my debut novel! (Steve’s note – it is now out!) However, I am also proud of this one. I really think it’s a good story and I have put a lot of effort into it. Think of it as a character driven SciFi political thriller with a dash of military SciFi elements. Dune meets Red Rising, for two easy comps.
Steve: Bonus Fun Question – What was the best practical joke you’ve ever been involved in?
Tyler: I had an old teammate who went camping for his birthday. When he was gone, we called his very fun dad and asked for help pranking him. His dad told us where he went to camp so found his car, covered it in condoms and tampons, and then discovered the day he got back that the person next to his site had the same car and we put them on their car instead!
Steve: Oh man haha! That is hilarious! Wonder how long it took you to clean it up! Reminds me of the episode where Homer’s car gets covered in seashells and starfish on The Simpsons!
Thanks so much for doing this, Tyler!
