For some people, writing is just a hobby. For other people, it\u2019s an extremely passionate hobby, filled with blood, sweat, and tears, along with no small amount of screaming of \u201cI\u2019m a fraud! Why am I doing this? Am I utterly insane?\u201d at an unforgiving keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suppose I fall into the latter category, with a sprinkle of desire to one day see my works picked up into syndication or becoming \u2018the next big thing.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exit Pass: The Jane Solution is a serious labor of love. I wrote the entire book from the point of view of a person who is constantly hallucinating all day, every day. I took mundane situations, like the act of walking out of the door to collect the mail, and asked myself \u201cWhat would this look like in an animated movie with a ridiculously overblown CG budget?\u201d I did my best to just let a lot of it flow stream of consciousness, only going back to edit the work later to make things fit the continuity of the story itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike other novels I\u2019ve written, where I usually plot out the specifics of a chapter before I start to write it, with Exit Pass my story arc was more like a list of suggestions than actual hard-and-fast checkpoints. Writing the story first-person gave me the luxury of letting him ramble, forget, hyper-focus, and outright lie to the reader. It gave the story a unique feel to it, and I\u2019ve had a couple different beta readers tell me that they are really wanting a sequel when this book has barely hit the shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on how well it is received, I may set up an audio book version of the story. That will be something for much later down the line, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
