Author Interview – Jim Jackson – “Stones in My Passway” (Horror/Fantasy/Comedy)

Howdy friends.

Welcome to our Wednesday Writing Wisdom Session, with me as your devilishly handsome host!

(It’s easy being the most handsome guy in the room when you’re the only one there and there is no-one else to challenge you for the crown).

Just a quick note/Public Service Announcement before we get under way properly. I link to a lot of other articles in my posts, so WordPress users please check your Spam folders in your Setting Menus and approve any links/pingbacks that you find from me to improve the visibility of your own blog posts, as well as mine, it’s a win win for us both 😉

Today, I have had the utmost pleasure of conducting another fantastic Author Interview, this time round chatting with author Jim Jackson and we have a very entertaining time discussing how he writes, why he writes and most importantly…where does he get those wonderful toys?

(Sorry, I lost my train of thought there for a minute, it doesn’t happen often but when it does, hold on to your hats and bear with me while it passes until I find some chocolate).

Enjoy the show folks and happy reading 🙂

Hi there Jim, a real pleasure having you over here to chat about your writing experiences, influences, passions and your books.

Oh. We’re talking about passions? Okay. I’ll try to keep it family friendly 😉

Let’s start with your debut Horror/Fantasy comical novel release – “Stones in My Passway”. Please tell us more about the plot/theme of this book, where and when it is set and what is ultimately at stake for your protagonist Wood Sweeney, as he tries to deal with a dodgy deal he has made with the devil!

StonesFrontPage

So, imagine if you were out walking at a lonely crossroads, and the devil gave you chance to undo a past decision in your life? Just to see how things would have been different. You wouldn’t lose anything you have. You’d just get to see how your life would have been different if you took a different turn somewhere. Would you make a deal?

That’s what Wood Sweeney has to decide. He’s a normal guy – fights with his wife, worries about his 15-year-old daughter. And he’s just turned forty. Regular person.

When his daughter is brought home by the police for drinking in public and storms off into the cold night, Wood looks for her but finds the devil instead. He makes his deal. It doesn’t turn out well for him.

Now, he needs to find a way to escape the hellhounds – who want to make him one of them – and break his devil deal. Or slay the prince of darkness himself.

You also have a book called “How to Tell a Really Good Story about Absolutely Anything in 4 Easy Steps”. Please elaborate more about this guide and let us know what kind of advice it provides. I’m assuming that all four steps aren’t just “Write the Damn Thing!” repeated many times over 😊.

No, not just repeating that. That book actually goes even deeper than writing fiction into how to make any message memorable and meaningful through the power of story – whether it’s getting people at work to recycle more or getting your spouse to stop leaving his socks on the floor.

The book came out of my work teaching public speaking to accountants and other business-y types. I always said to start their speeches with a story – just like with TED talks – and they’d be able to hook their audience, keep them listening. But I found that not everyone knows how to do that. How to take a topic – especially a technical topic – and craft it into a really good story.

So, I brought the idea up with my boss at the time – there’s a demand for a webinar or something about storifying technical topics. I got a lukewarm response that fizzled out. I tried again. Same thing.

So, I said to myself – self, we know there’s a demand. Why not just put the thing out as a book? So, I did. I became a published author. And so much more. The book is doing great and has led me to speaking engagements and other training projects that I never would have imagined.

What would you choose as your own personal mascot or spirit animal when it comes to you and your style of writing?

Ha! I’ve never thought about that. I want to say something cool like a dragon. But probably not. I should be so lucky. Maybe a lemur? Yeah, my spirit animal when it comes to writing is a lemur. Me and my writing style tend to leap around, be playful. It’s a good thing I have a keen-eyed, Taurus editor (who’s also my wife – sorry, ladies).

If your novel was to be made into a film (or even a TV series), who would you cast in the lead roles?

Ooh, good one. Wood is an everyman. I’d love to see Oscar Isaac in that role. He also looks good in a beard. But the devil – Papa Scratch, he calls himself in the book – that’s the really interesting role. When I was writing, I pictured either Don Cheadle or Mahershala Ali. Oscar, Don, Mahershala – if you’re reading this and looking to spend some of that Star Wars/Marvel/Disney money, let’s make it happen! It’s a plum role.

What do you think most characterizes or defines your writing? Do you have any writing quirks or themes that constantly crop up in your stories?

He-Man. And the rest of the Masters of the Universe. Well. Maybe not literally. But those stories of people who discover inner power to overcome evil – personal or universal – always come up in what I write. I was a story addict as a kid. When I wasn’t reading comics, I was making up my own stories with action figures. (Often tragic ones. With heart). And those stories are still with me – the heroes, the monster – they’re still solid, muscular realities in my world. In all our worlds. We’re made up of the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. We’re not so much the sum of our experiences but the sum of the stories we make from those experiences.

I also like writing about being 25. Call it arrested development.

ReallyGoodStory

What do you find the most difficult thing about writing? And what do you find the easiest?

I find finishing a project the hardest. There’s always a sexy new idea that comes along that wants to pull me away from the project I’m committed to.

Easy? In terms of brass tacks, I find dialogue comes easily to me. Pages fly by when I’m writing dialogue.

But the easiest thing is enjoying the look on people’s faces when I tell them I’m a writer. Especially the 10% who look pleased.

Who are some of the authors, musicians, poets and/or historical figures that inspire you?

Well, the thrust of the book is based on the legend of real bluesman Robert Johnson. The story goes that he went to the crossroads, made a deal with the devil and came away with a supernatural ability to play the blues. Then died under mysterious circumstances. I call the book “a novel in blues,” and it’s steeped in blues imagery, so that was a major influence for this series. There’s also my favourite poet, Kenneth Koch, who wrote a piece called “The Art of Poetry.” I go to that when I wonder why I’m following this ridiculous idea of making up stories as a grown man. But the person who keeps me striving up an impossible hill (and bettering myself in the process) is my good friend, indie musician Jack Harlan. I met him when I was 15 and have been fan-girl over his work ever since. He has a natural talent – he can’t write a coherent email to save his life but can write and perform a song that will make you weep every time you hear it. Check him out. It’s good stuff.

What sort of research do you do to write your books?

Oh, wow. The stuff I could tell you. Wikipedia and I are living in sin. I tend to need facts as I’m feverishly typing out an idea. I’ve learned more things about cockroaches than I care to know. That’s for the next novel. I also know what the three different types of erections are (yep, three). That’s for the novel after that. I’ve had really odd looks from my wife in conversation. I have to explain I know these things from book research. Not from my checkered past.

Why do you write? What inspired you to become a writer?

Oh, jeez. When I was a musician and people asked me why I became a musician, I had an easy answer. To meet girls.

I certainly didn’t become a writer to meet girls. There aren’t a lot of groupies at my desk in the basement by the fire.

If I can get philosophical about it, I became a writer for the ancient Greek idea of poiesis – the act of bringing something into existence that didn’t exist before. I always wrote. Dillitante-ishly. I liked the idea of being a writer. But, I often confused perseverance for talent. And not being able to stick to a writing project, I assumed I had no talent.

But that desire for poiesis stuck with me. I tried drawing (I actually drew and wrote an online cartoon). I tried woodworking. I tried making mead. I tried becoming a really good amateur chef. It was all great. I’m glad I learned those things. I was able to bring things into existence that didn’t exist before.

But none of that was words. Words kept drawing me back – whether that was writing a weekly column for a Chinese newspaper while living in China, telling my 2-year-old “Once-upon-a-time” stories about her stuffed animals or simply writing songs for friends’ birthdays.

It’s always been about the way words create reality like nothing else.

What keeps you motivated during creative slumps? How do you deal with Writers Block?

Hm. I’d like to say it’s the divine muse or the happy, golden leprechaun (is that a thing?) or something. But it’s really just getting up, making a cup of tea and hammering out 500 or 1000 words first thing every morning. I believe that I have something to say, and that something is worth saying.

You have access to a time machine. What advice would you give to your younger self?

Go see Europe while you’re still young enough to sleep in hostels. After a certain age, dreadlocks are a deal-breaker.

And keep up the persona. There will be times when you’ll want to strangle it because it’s not all of who you really are, but keep it going. It will serve you well.

How do you spend your free time when you are not writing?

What is this free time of which you speak? No, that’s a failure of mine. I don’t spend enough time recharging. I worry sometimes I’m spending all my creative capital without replenishing it. But, when I have a minute, I’m really into wine tasting. Might even do a class to be a sommelier.

Tell us more about your upcoming projects. Are you working on anything specific or have plans in the pipeline?

Well, I’m putting the devil Papa Scratch down for a couple years (book two coming in fall 2019). Next up is a fantasy noir set in Hong Kong, my favourite city in the world, called Curse of the Cockroach Queen. After that, I have a novel I’m co-writing with another author (I know! I’ll let you know how the process goes) called Dispatches from an Accidental Sex Tourist. That one gets a bit racy. And funny. And there will be more non-fiction based stuff around how storytelling can make your life more awesome. Have a look at reallygoodstory.com and sign up for updates and free stuff!

I’m also trying to live up to my 15-year-old self and put out an album of original songs.

Finally, are there any nuggets of wisdom that you can impart to other aspiring writers?

Take yourself seriously. People will tell you not to, to have back-up plans. Take yourself seriously. You write. You may not be a published author yet, but you’re a writer. You know why you’re a writer. No one else needs to.

And that’s a wrap! Thank you for having the “stones” to come and chat with us today about all of your amazing writing endeavours, I think it is time for us to make a pact with the devil ourselves and get busy reading your words 🙂
