If I Should Die

Writerly Wednesday Welcomes Jolene Poole
Interview with Jolene Poole for Writerly Wednesday…
5. Do you write in a bubble or do you prefer critique groups, writing buddies or other companionship during the process?
No one is allowed to see my work until the story is finished. I want people’s opinions on the entire book. That’s usually how I judge things myself. I like to look at the characters, the plot and the ending before I make an overall decision about whether I liked it or not. So I want people to be able to see the completed work before they tell me what they think.

3. What do you have under your bed?
Under my bed is a collection of shoes that does not fit into my other three closets. Of course, what happens is that I forget about those under the bed and think that I need to go out and buy more shoes. It is an endless cycle. There are also dust bunnies under my bed, but in the second bedroom my husband and I have the real thing—live house rabbits. They make marvelous pets. One of them, Dusty, is pictured with me in my author’s photo. He’s an angora, which is why his ears aren’t as long as most breeds. He was chosen because he was able to sit still and pose far longer than our other four bunnies could. Dusty is now prideful, and the others are miffed. They are already lobbying hard to be in the next photo shoot. Continue reading

Writerly Wednesday Welcomes Angie Skelhorn
By the use of divination and magic, some ties can never be severed.
In the beginning, by the light of the Full Moon, Frankie connects with Candice’s energy through dream time and witnesses her involvement in a terrifying act of violence. After receiving information from Sandra that their childhood friend is missing, they pack their bags and head to the inner city to find her.
Frankie, afraid for her own safety, has a chance encounter with a local named Calvin who is plugged into what’s happening. Using his workable ideas—as well as Frankie and Sandra consulting tarot, ordinary playing cards, astrology, and spell-casting—they set forth to free Candice from the dangerous situation she is in.

3. What do you have under your bed?
Our bed is a pedestal with drawers and cubbies under the mattress. We bought it with a waterbed mattress, but last year finally had to get rid of it because aging has not been kind to our backs. Now we have a memory-foam mattress and our backs thank us each night and morning! So there’s nothing much beyond clothing in the drawers that’s under our bed. Of course, if the bed could talk…the stories it could tell! Snicker…

7. What is your favorite word processing program and what other tools do you use, pen, notebooks, white board, index cards, finger on fogged bathroom mirrors?
I use Microsoft Word, but I never ever stray from my tried and true tools of pen and paper. They go with me everywhere. We rely too heavily on all these fun little gadgets out here these days, and heaven forbid the battery dies or it gets lost or stolen…there goes your work or brainstorming ideas! I’d never trust a fogged bathroom mirror as something to write on either, all your thoughts would disappear in a flash, lol!

1) What is your your favorite marketing task?
The most productive marketing tool I’ve used is the Free Days program through Kindle Direct Publishing. KDP might be exclusive, which bothers some writers, but one major benefit is the free days. I believe this has been the most productive marketing tool I’ve used—-and it’s free. I have done Interviews (obviously), had reviews and paid for Ads, but nothing has proven as effective as the Free KDP days.

5. Do you write in a bubble or do you prefer critique groups, writing buddies or other companionship during the process?
I don’t often let people in to the process, so I guess I write in a bubble a little bit. However that said I do often ask for help when it comes to things like the blurb. I’ve never been very good at writing them and having another person go over it and tell me whether it makes them want to read the book or not helps me refine it and make it better. Continue reading
