If there was one word to describe Author Johnie Jay, it would be passionate. He has always been verbally passionate but it wasn't until his first creative writing class, in 9th grade, when he found that his passion, mixed with his vast and lucid imagination could create temporary getaways. That's all a book is really, a getaway from the world, an escape. "I want every word of every sentence to be evocative. If I can't make you feel, taste or smell every scene that I create then what's the point?" Romance and passion goes hand in hand but when you add to it detailed and vivid sex scenes you're left with an explosive concoction. He has blended all three harmoniously in his first romantic novel, Inevitable ActI (of II) released December 3. He looks forward to sharing his imagination with the world!
Check out his interview with me below!!
What inspires you to write the books you write? What motivates you?
My inspiration is love and everything that comes along with it. From the passion, the emotions, the reactions, sex, intimacy and relationships, all these things excite me. And when you add all these things together along with an interesting plot you will automatically get a great story
Do you research anything prior to starting a new project? Take us through a normal day with a new project that needs to be handed in.
I definitely do research when it comes to writing a novel. Whether it’s asking multiple women what would they do, say or think in a particular scenario that I’m writing about or if I’m including a certain kind of car in a scene I may have to research or look up images to describe the interior exact. I want my novels to mirror real life. I want someone who actually drives the car that I’m including to read that scene and be able to visualize it clearly. Even though I write fiction I want it to have a non-fiction feel.
What is the hardest part about writing for you? The easiest part?
The easy part of writing for me is coming up with the scenes. My imagination is pretty vivid. The problem with that is choosing what to include. You don’t want to be too wordy or drag a scene out. The quicker you get to the point the better so the process of being my own editor is the hardest part of writing to me.
What new projects are you working on now?
Next up for me is Inevitable Act II set to be released early spring 2014 and then and erotic cookbook (more details to come).
Any advice for aspiring writers that you wish somebody had shared with you?
If you choose the traditional route and want to submit your manuscript to a publisher make sure you pay attention to the word count as a matter of fact this is more important to do even before you start writing to make sure you’re within the guidelines. Publishers are very strict on this and all of their submission guidelines. So make sure you do your research!
