Talking about writing is a challenge. It is a challenge worth undertaking.
It is easy to think that only certain writers, celebrated or accomplished writers have the right to talk about writing. Celebration and accomplishment usually occur at the end of a journey and lead to reflection.
Discussing the process during the journey when so much is still unknown is harder. Difficult does not mean impossible.

L.A. Cunningham never wanted to be a writer when she was a kid. In fact, she has a funny habit of saying no. But then she also has a habit of saying yes, after first saying no, and the result has been nothing short of brilliant.
It starts with BABIES WITH RABIES - An ABC Survival Guide. In the event that babies become infected with rabies and try to take over the world, not The Walking Dead or The Last of Us, but instead, this book will help you
Don't take my word for it, press play now.

Finding Your Character’s Motivation

Getting up in the morning is hard enough without trying to save the world.
Getting up just to save the world does not sound like a good enough reason.
How do superheroes do it? Do they struggle?
Does Superman? Does Spider-Man?
What reasons do your characters have for getting out of bed?
Let's bring it closer to home.
Why do most of us get up?

Christian Prosperie was first introduced to ASAP Imagination through the anthology Perspectives. Not only did he get to share a brilliant story that benefited the dyspraxia foundation, but Christian was inspired to publish a collection of short stories in the anthology Across the Astral Frontier.
Space is not a natural environment for humans and the further we explore, the more we discover just how many dangers exist in a vacuum.
Across the Astral Frontier
As humanity reaches out…a universe awakens. Humanity in the far future, long believing we had reached our astral limit, now can extend beyond our home solar system. This ignites a new age of unchecked exploration. However, the blind ambition of uncovering the mysteries of the cosmos will turn the eyes of the universe toward us. These eight harrowing incidents are glimpses of the unforgiving nature of the unknown.

Perspectives
In ASAP IMAGINATION’s first-ever charity anthology, every single writer that has been involved in this project has given you one of the greatest gifts possible—a part of their imagination. This is no small gift because they are giving you a piece of themselves, a world that they brought to life. That’s how powerful and precious their perspectives are.

A.R. Farina is a writer, colleague, and friend who has invited me to appear on his podcast Indie Comics Spotlight to talk about comics. We've had great conversations, but during it all one of the things we never talked about is how A.R. Farina has been writing novels. Many novels.
The wait is over and I had the great fortune of being one of the first to sit down and talk about the debut novel with the author.
About Welcome to Mansfield
Junior Price wanted desperately to get out of her small town and the demands of her big family. Upon winning a scholarship to an elite private college thousands of miles away, she packed her bags and went to find her place in the world. She soon discovers that she may not be ready to be out on her own.
Mansfield College is full of the rich and the wealthy who play by a whole different set of rules than Junior understands. She tries her best to fit in and follow her heart only to discover that her small-town southern charm doesn’t work on everyone.
Will she become someone she doesn’t recognize to try to make everyone happy or will she find herself as she becomes the young woman she wants to be? This book is a modern-day, coming-of-age retelling of the classic Jane Austen story filled with heartache and friendship.

DW Howard (Nemesis) is the third member of the team building the connected universe of ASAP Imagination. I was introduced to the concept by L.A. Cunningham during a discussion about her book BABIES WITH RABIES. Then I spoke with HAYDES who explained how he founded ASAP Imagination and began collaborating with Nemesis and L.A.
This time around, Nemesis takes me through the story of OPSEC, the, well- I'll let him explain all of that. There are also teases about Level 8, and the upcoming novel The Long Game.
Is there more? Sure... so press play and hear it all!
About DW Howard - Taken from his website

It's not easy making your way in the world. For a non-union psychic like BOB, well, I'll let you hear it directly from the Warehouse 9 Productions website.
"This is not your usual paranormal adventure. This is about the rise of a new kind of hero. Or, rather, the reluctant rise of a hero…
Meet Bob Holbreck – Renegade Psychic, Professional Hairstylist. He owns and operates a nice little barber shop in the trendy part of town. His clientele is growing with loyal customers. Bob truly knows what looks good on a customer before they do.
How does he do it? Well, Bob has other talents. There are those who may consider it a gift. Like his great-grandfather, who is at odds about Bob’s current career choice. Gramps wants him to cash in on his psychic abilities.
That’s right; Bob has mad psychic abilities. It’s tough for Gramps to see his progeny’s talents go to waste. Bob can do it all: he can see the life force, or “aura,” which surrounds every living human being. He can have visions of the past and future upon contact. Bob can see spirits and other forms of energy existing with the world of the living. Not only can he see them, he can interact with them, even dispel them if necessary."
Pretty wild, right?
Then I talk to Lance Lucero who is not only the writer and creator of BOB but the founder of Warehouse 9 Production, and director of the movie about Legros, the original owner of the legendary scissors that BOB carries with him. You should listen.
Then when you're done check out all of the places where you can find BOB, Legros, and so much more:

I first heard about HAYDES (P. Hayden) from L.A.Cunningham. When HAYDES and I sat down for a chat we explored the connections between poetry, stand-up, and comics, a shared appreciation of WildStorm's The Authority, and cost-efficient cosplay. But that was just scratching the surface.

This all started way back in March of this year. It is now December 1, 2022. I know that patience is sometimes called a virtue, but in this case, I believe it is also a value, and like all things so much more. This conversation is a gift. It's the kind of experience I hope to leave behind every time. And like every conversation that has come before and the many more that I hope will come after, it holds the same truths. It says this is one experience, this is one understanding, your moments will be different, and the more of our moments that we share with each other the greater insight we gain.

Kameron White is a comic artist, illustrator, and designer who works with traditional and digital mediums, including ink, pencil, watercolor, and digital formats. His favorite things to create original characters and worlds, fashion designs, and fun, eccentric stories. Within his work, he aims and works towards displaying a diverse group. This includes People of Color, LGBTQ+ characters, characters of different body sizes, characters with disabilities, and characters of various backgrounds. He also places these characters in sceneries that are not common in history, especially Black and Brown bodies in mythological and religious settings, and imagery.
Growing up, he didn't see many characters like himself in terms of race, gender, sexuality, experience, or body type. In Kameron's body of work, he wants to include as much diversity as he can. He also aims to document his own personal stories, by illustrating comics going through his personal journeys as a Black and Indigenous Trans man.
One of his stories was featured in the "We Are Here: All-Trans Anthology", where he shared his story with other amazing Trans artists. Their book recently won the Ignatz 2019 award for Outstanding Anthology. He also has illustrated a story included in "Proud," an anthology of stories and poetry by LGBTQ+ YA authors collected by Juno Dawson. Each story in the book is accompanied by an artist identifying in the LGBTQ+ community and recently won Book of The Year in the 2020 Visionary Honours awards.

The Milestone Initiative
In 1993, four Black creators founded Milestone Comics: a new universe of Black and diverse superheroes, brought to life by Black creators and other artists of color. Milestone didn’t just change the way our heroes looked; it built a pipeline for talent who had been excluded and marginalized for too long, and a system in which Black creativity could thrive. Now, with the relaunch of Milestone Comics and the creation of The Milestone Initiative, we want to honor the creators of Milestone by continuing their mission.
