I was asked a question about my writing. Here is the question:

Do you have any unusual writing habits?

My Answer: The Author J.A. Jackson aka Jerreece

My writing process is not unusual to me, but it does depend on the book and the moment. By that I mean, if I’ve had a rough day my writing process can be somewhat cloudy and not focused. But generally, I write every day. Especially if a story has taken hold and started forming in my head. However, if not, then I usually will begin a story by jotting down the plot point, element, character name, flaws etc. and then write the story. Each day, I write something and I normally will begin by first reviewing what I have written prior, revise and continue. Thus the story comes. Daily I check for the parts of the story such as the character dialogue, point of view, and the plot, sub-plot, who the character is, their flaws, desires, hopes, dreams, things that make them real and always what is that all important thing - they can’t have or live without. To me this is what makes the story and what makes the character propel the story and move it the story forward.

This Author Received A Question from Elizabeth! Here's My Answer Elizabeth!

Question: Where do you get your ideas or inspiration for your stories? Elizabeth. Author J.A.Jackson Answer: Hi, Elizabeth,

Many things inspire me. I also get inspiration from tidbits of odd knowledge that I pick up while reading throughout the day. While reading, something I may have that “what if moment” that inspires me to write about it. Other times ideas for my books can come from places that I have visited. I’d like to say that I am always inspired by the grandiose landscape of the magnificent State of California. For example, for my book the Grand Hotel my inspiration came from walking past the regal old Sir Drake Hotel on Powell Street in San Francisco one night. The flickering lights coming from welcoming door gave me a “what if “moment. From there the ideas for The Grand Hotel was born.

Thanks for letting me share.

Question for that Author J. A. Jackson

Question: As a Writer Do You Talk To Your Characters?

Author J. A. Jackson - Answer: Sort of. What I do is to think of my character’s dialogue, point of view, flaws, desires, hopes, and dreams. When I do this it is, sort of like having an interview with your character and finding out about them.
