Interview with
Jess C Scott
1: What is the most productive
time of the day for you to write?
Early in the morning, and late at
night ;)
2: Do you start your projects
writing with paper and pen or is it all on the computer?
I like to start the projects
writing with paper and pen, then continue on the computer. The organized
clutter of messy notes (recording the thought processing) inspires me to create
some order/structure out of the “chaos.”
3: What do you draw inspiration
from?
Love, life, and everything in
between.
4: Do you set yourself goals when
you sit down to write such as word count?
Yes, but I need to do an outline
before anything else.
5: Being a self published author
how do you come up with your cover art?
I create my own cover art. As Plato
says, “necessity is the mother of invention.” I guess my sketching and doodling
habit (which kicked in during my late teenage years) are being put to some use.
6: What drives you to choose the
career of being a writer?
An incomprehensible, overriding
need to make sense of things—via the written word.
7: Do you own an ebook reading
device?
Not right now, though I’m eyeing
whatever Nokia’s coming up with.
8: Who are some of your favorite
authors and What are you reading now?
Favorite authors include Vladimir
Nabokov, Roald Dahl, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, D. H. Lawrence, etc. I’m
currently reading Melville’s Moby-Dick
(for my last paper this semester), and Lawrence’s The Rainbow.
9: What do you think of book
trailers and do you have any plans to have any?
I think they can be a great
visual representation of a book. I’ve made four for my first two books (they
can be found in the links I’ve included below). I haven’t decided if I’m going
to make one for future works. If I feel like it…
10: What are you working on now
that you can talk about?
Porcelain is a collection of short stories, poems, and sketches
I’ve just completed (thought it covers material done over the past 10 years/ my
written + illustrative work). I’ll soon be working on the cover for The Intern (first in a contemporary,
multicultural YA series; a teenage version of Dirty Dancing means Punk’d).
