Addison Kline author interview
1.
What does your writing process look like?
To watch me write a book, you’d probably
think I’ve gone insane. I write out of order. Post-it notes everywhere.
Sometimes I write at the computer, other times I have to write in a notebook.
Maybe I need a change of scenery? I’ll go to the park and scribble my thoughts
done. To the outsider’s eye, my process is a chaotic mess, but somehow, I make
it work J
2.
Do you have any strange writing habits (like
standing on your head or writing in the shower)? When I’m writing a mystery
novel, my darkest scenes are written in the middle of the night by candlelight.
I love writing during storms, especially rain and snow storms. It always sets
the perfect tone. When the whether won’t cooperate, sometimes I listen to Rainy Mood. Also, I cannot write without
music.
3.
What book do you wish you could have written?
I wish I had the guts to write a memoir of
my actual life. Sometimes truth is much stranger than fiction.
4.
Just as your books inspire authors, what authors
have inspired you to write?
Stephen King, JK Rowling, Nicholas Sparks,
Sharon Sala
5.
How important are names to you in your books? Do
you choose the names based on liking the way it sounds or the meaning? Do you
have any name choosing resources you recommend?
Names are very important to me. I
pick names based on meanings, based on what sounds right, the family’s heritage
and their personality.
6.
What do you consider to be your best
accomplishment?
Aside from being a mother to beautiful,
respectful boys? Hitting the top 100 list on Amazon.
7.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Writing
full time
8.
Have you always liked to write? Yes. I’ve been
writing since I was six years old.
9.
What writing advice do you have for other
aspiring authors?
Don’t quit and don’t be afraid to
make up your own rules.
10.
If you didn't like writing books, what would you
do for a living? This is an impossible question for me. I can’t bend my mind
around the not writing thing.
11.
Do you read your reviews? Do you respond to
them, good or bad? Do you have any advice on how to deal with the bad?
I think every author does, but it’s
rare these days. Critical reviews can be incredibly helpful to growing as an
author. I take each review with a grain of salt. I don’t let the good ones go
to my head, and I don’t let the bad ones dampen my spirit. I keep it moving.
12.
What is your best marketing tip?
Start a newsletter. Grow a mailing
list. Get social with your readers.
13.
What is your least favorite part of the
publishing / writing process?
Editing
14.
Is there one subject you would never write about
as an author? What is it?
Nothing is off limits.
15.
Is there a certain type of scene that's harder
for you to write than others? Love? Action? Racy? Not really. I write the book
as it comes to me.
16.
How many books have you written? I have fully
written 17 books, with 10 more partially written works. I am working on my 18th
full novel. I have 10 projects
published.
17.
What are you working on now? What is your next
project? I am working on re-releasing Black Horse through Booktrope! I am also
working on a top secret manuscript behind the scenes J
