A Vague Idea Turns Into a Series
Sara’s Fear follows a girl and her family as they find their lives upended with the appearance of supernatural powers. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
I started this story for my daughter when she was seven or eight. The story was only a vague idea about a twelve-year-old girl having troubled dreams caused by terror goblins feeding on her nightmares. Her story was one of overcoming her fears in life so she could defeat the goblins in her dreams. Unfortunately, at chapter six, the book got put on hold and languished for years. Some life events gave me the push to finish it, but it had to be finished fast, so I sat down and finished the rough draft in about two weeks. Except for the dreams, most of the original story went away and everything else was written on the fly.
What is the most difficult part of setting out to write a series?
Honestly, just sitting down and doing it. Bits and pieces of stories run through my head constantly while I’m doing other things. Coming up with story ideas is easy and writing a short story isn’t too bad, but writing a book or series, it’s difficult. If I can’t “fall” into the story while I’m writing, it just doesn’t work. It’s a hyper-focus thing. Finding two or three hours to sit and write distraction-free is tough for me.
What part of Sara’s Fear was the most fun to write?
Tough one. I enjoy writing the action parts. Picking the sequences apart in my head and trying to put words down so they paint the same picture for the reader is a challenge. I also enjoy the intense personal parts between the characters in the stories. Trying to step outside myself and look at how someone else may react to a situation and then put it to words is just as challenging.
