My recent interview with David Wisehart about the release of Lost Exit on Kindle is up today. No violence or cursing (at least nothing usually associated with a Kevin Michaels story), but it's still a good read. If you're interested, you can check it out at:

That's a really interesting interview, Kevin, thanks for sharing. There are some good insights into your approach to writing there.
I was reading recently that writing by hand engages different parts of the brain than does writing on a keyboard. My preferred method of coming up with a first draft is also to write by hand. I do a quick first edit as I key in the text, then ideally do my first full read through and make my next set of changes on a hard copy.
I can work solely on screen if I have to, of course, but I wonder what approach other writers take?
Nice job on the interview. Reading your novel now on my nook, and enjoying it so far!
great interview. I hope your book does well.
Kevin, your mind blows concise and far-reaching in all the same gusts. A reader can sense the phenomenal care and fire you put into your style, your thought processes on-the-flow, your characters and where you watch them go.
SAME TOO . . . the way you interview. I found myself wanting to further know this fella and maybe even discuss writing and -- WAIT! I DO!!!
Lucky me.
Lucky world.
Check out the interview folks. What this Kevin Michaels varmint says about making your characters 'happen' is the stuff pages were made for.
~ Absolutely*Kate,
who thought David Wisehart had wise queries too
Thanks all- appreciate the comments/feedback. I think that each writer's writing process is uniquely his/her own, and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for the other. For me, it's all about killing trees and writing/re-writing/and re-writing again before I commit to putting it on the laptop, and even then I still print and edit off a hard copy.... conservationists hate me.
My hands get shaky too, if I go too long away from a notebook or the back of a napkin. I hear your refrain JoiseySensation. There's a kinda magic that leaps from mind when it has someplace to plop itself.
I enjoyed reading the insights and getting a glimpse at your writing processes.
The one thing that had an impact for me was that publishing is a craft, just like writing. What an insight--I never thought of it that way.
Someday, I'll have the guts to start (and hopefully) finish a novel. A few ideas kicking, but nothing down and dirty yet.
You are an inspiration. I would love to sit down with you someday and discuss the craft of writing.
