I Promise That My Book Will Be Out (Q&A)
MY BOOK WILL BE OUT, I PROMISE!
It’s Q & A Time
Licorne Man asks:
When did you know that there was a book in you?
Since I started writing, that was like 10 years ago. I wrote consistently for all these years and I don’t think that I will ever stop. I think that everybody that writes would like to publish a book.
How did you know (was it a feeling, advice from someone, a near death experience..etc)?
That I wanted to write a book? I mean… I feel that you should only write if you have something to say, – that’s why when people are sad have a tendency to write better. I write in order to keep my sanity, I have a lot of creative energy in me and if I don’t put it out then I get tense and stressed out. It is like a need, but one that I love. A lot of people that have this creative energy if they don’t do something with it they become self-destructive individuals, they get confused. I am just like that.
Also, when you knew there was a book in you, did you start writing immediately?
Actually before we were on this trip I was in the process of reviewing the last drafts of a book I was writing for 2 years or so. It is actually finished, but I don’t think that I will ever publish it. When I got back home I knew that I had the perfect material for an epic story and started writing right away. It was insane! In some days I wrote as much as 5 thousand words, that’s ridiculous…
Did you know what the book was going to be about?
Yeah, I mean, even when I was in that Roadtrip, when we were crossing America I wrote every day in my diary. That had a double purpose: for once I wanted to have recorded memories about what we were doing and the amazing things that happened along the way and second because I knew that it would be crucial to write the book. It would have been impossible to write it without all those notebook entries. I tend to forget a lot of funny things that add up to the story.
Was there a process you followed (creatively speaking)?
Dennis asks:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
How could I know that? I am not a woodchuck!
